@gwagner Sprawl is a very inefficient development pattern. From the NYT article:
"The county (Phoenix) uses some 2.2 billion gallons of water a day — more than twice as much as New York City, despite having half as many people."

« Gagner la guerre de l’information : vers la mobilisation générale des imaginaires démocratiques » - par Xavier Bouvet, Benoît Thieulin et Emmanuel Rivière.
Une proposition dense reposant sur l'analyse des transformations des usages des #récits, en particulier sur les réseaux sociaux. Liant, entre autres, nécessaire nouvelle #cartographie, usage "sain" des #IA, industrie de défense, monde irrationnel..."Il est possible de mobiliser un imaginaire démocratique, de « lever en masse » à la condition de garder la confiance pour principe directeur : appui sur les individus citoyens plutôt que les utilisateurs virtuels, appel aux systèmes de valeurs, construction en transparence de récits positifs, adoption d’outils open source, préservation d’une langue organique, etc. C’est ici que le fer de la guerre de l’information a le plus porté, c’est donc ici que la prochaine bataille doit être menée, dans un objectif devenu clair : sauver nos démocraties".

@gwagner Still looking for a website which shows all those desasters, with scientific sources.
Like a website for weather showing all kind of different data (rainfall, wind, clouds...)There MUST be such a website somewhere. It would help to make the momentary state globally clear even for nonexperts. It's hard to grasp the already immense impact of climatechange when you can't see it at least on a worldmap.

Yikes. It is getting twisty.
I'm not a fan of the B-corp idea anyway bevause it accepts unfair fights. All companies should be accountable to stakeholders, including the environment, not just to shareholders. If only certain companies do this, their competitors have a market advantage so the odds of B-corp survival are poor. If it's a successful market strategy to care about the environment you don't need to be a B-corp to do it.
As I read it, a B-corp is authorization to spend, even lose, shareholder money doing good for the world and not have your stockholders sue you for breach of fiduciary duty. Indeed I'd think they should be able to sue you for not doing well by the social benefit promises you've made.
However here I see FT characterizing it as a "movement" as including "thousands of companies around the world who are certified as 'a force for good'.' This does not mesh with my understanding of their role.
Wikipefia says of B-corps that they
Include "positive impact on society, workers, the community and the environment in addition to profit as its legally defined goals, in that the definition of "best interest of the corporation" is specified to include those impacts".My reading of them is that they aren't, or shouldn't be,, "blessed as good" but rather that they open themselves to criticism-with-teeth if they fail to make good on their promises of good.
People differ on what ethics is, but my personal definition of ethics isn't that there is a specific set of rules you comply with. That's just law and compliance is not ethics at all in my book. Ethics, to me, is a living process of continually asking hard questions of yourself, starting with "am I today right now ethical, and what makes me sure I've not drifted?" The answer to that can never be "I was blessed at birth as ethical."
To me, any notion that B-corps are blessed as ethical or that any one agency can certify unambiguously that someone is ethical is suspect. Organizations can perform independent audits and offer opinions, but that ought not end all discussion. Anyone founding a B-corp has asked for any stakeholder to challenge them.
We should be asking hard questions of the auditors as well.
