  1. RE: digitalcourage.social/@skruij/

    #WandelMut #LeseLust. Das Kuratieren der Bücher ist zuweilen herausfordernd.

    Das Thema ist wichtig und der Ansatz gut. Doch wie gut lassen sich Autorinnen und Autoren wirklich von ihren Werken trennen? Wann wird ein Buch zum #GreenWashing oder #SocialWashing? Aktuelles Beispiel 👇🏼(Meine Kritik in den Kommentaren)

    Kann ich ein Buch, das von Vertreterinnen aus großen US-BigTech geschrieben wurde, wirklich guten Gewissens empfehlen? 🤔

    Lasst mir gern Kommentare da, wie Ihr darüber denkt. Danke!

  2. Consumer #boycotts are aggressively attacked by whole industries and #greenwashing #ecolabels like #RSPO as being ineffective. Yet a strong body of evidence shows they galvanise social change and empower citizens #BoycottPalmOil 🌴🚫 #Boycott4Wildlife wp.me/pcFhgU-2aA?utm_source=ma

  4. Y a que moi que ça énerve de voir des « ressources pédagogiques gratuites » sur les énergies, la transition énergétique et le développement durable fournies par… #TotalÉnergies !
    Ou bien ?

    Bon, c'est pas des ressources libres hein, elles sont sous copyright tout de même, faut pas pousser non plus, avec avec nécessité de création de compte pour y accéder. 😡

    Mais bon… Total qui vient t'expliquer le développement durable !

  5. 👻 #Mythos zum #Frühstück: 😱

    „Mit #CCS lassen sich #Gaskraftwerke #klimaneutral betreiben“.

    Auf der UN-Klimakonferenz (COP28) einigte man sich auf den „Übergang“ weg von fossilen Brennstoffen - NICHT den Ausstieg. Es blieben Hintertüren wie CO2-Abscheidung und -Speicherung, um weiterhin fossile Brennstoffen nutzen zu können. Aber geht das überhaupt?

    Hi Stefan,
    sag Du es mir 😄: e.V., gGmbH, eG? Was trennt ein Projekt von einer Organisation oder Bewegung?

    Philosophie beiseite: Ich suche tatsächlich eher Wirtschaftsunternehmen ggf. auch Social Businesses, die sich auf den Weg machen, nachhaltige Wirtschaft zu betreiben und das Gemeinwohl zu fördern. Gerne ohne #greenwashing...

    @millions4earth_de sollte nichtsdestotrotz in der #GWÖ Bubble auf den Schirm kommen!

  7. IRREFUTABLE: had the #MarkCarney government not ripped up the #AntiGreenwashing laws, they would ABSOLUTELY be breaking the law right now.

    If you say it's okay you're saying it's okay he's a liar and it's okay he's lying to us.

    E-Fuels mehr Gewissensberuhigung als Lösung?
    Synthetische Treibstoffe würden es ermöglichen, die bestehende Infrastruktur beizubehalten, sie lösen das Energieproblem aber nicht. Bei Fahrzeugen gilt inzwischen direkter Elektroantrieb als deutlich effizienter und kostengünstiger. Da Batterien zu schwer sind, könnten E-Fuels für Langstreckenflüge eine Rolle spielen. Es ist aber wenig realistisch, das derzeitige Flugvolumen damit beizubehalten.

  9. #SamAltman and others at #OpenAI are trying wicked hard to convince folks that they're all about saving #Nature... Buying #JackieAndShadow's home and now this... Um, sorry Sam and friends. It doesn't make up for the #NoisePollution, #WaterPollution, pollution from #EnergyConsumption , etc. for the #AIHouseOfCards... But folks are seeing right through that!

    #OpenAI flew influencers to a #NatureResort to fix its image. The internet called it #greenwashing.

    OpenAI flew a group of influencers to a $2,000-a-night wellness resort to warm up the public mood around #AI. Days before a reported $500bn #Datacentre deal, the internet called it greenwashing, and the creators got the backlash.

    August 4, 2026

    "The event, branded 'Summer Camp,' ran at Wildflower Farms, a resort in New York’s #HudsonValley where rooms can top $2,000 a night, Business Insider reported. Creators posted farm-to-table dinners under bistro lights, a beekeeping session, and classes on OpenAI’s tools. They went home with branded canvas bags and jars of honey.

    "The videos were soft-focus and lighthearted. The comments were not. Across TikTok, Reddit, X and Instagram, people called the trip 'dystopian' and accused OpenAI of greenwashing. One commenter told TechCrunch the issue was timing: '#TheWorldIsOnFire. It’s not a great time to brag about your $5,000-a-night suite.' "

  13. @blindcoder Das versuchen wir ja mit #Millions4earth.

    millions4.earth/m/ATZM4X727Y?l

    Es gibt dort einerseits Empfehlungen, was man im persönlichen Bereich tun kann, aber viel wichtiger ist der politische Bereich. Wir werden beides laufend ergänzen.

    Heute in der Abschlussrunde haben zwei Frauen gesprochen, die darauf hingewiesen haben, dass kommunale Prozesse extrem wichtig sind, denn da werden Dinge getan. Egal, wer Kanzler ist, da unten laufen Verfahren und Bürger*innen können sich beteiligen und wirken!

    Wenn Ihr bei Millions4earth mitmacht, bekommt Ihr zusätzlich zum Erfolg noch Punkte. =:-)

    Übrigens: Ein erstes Ergebnis ist, dass nicht alle, die unterzeichnen, #Ökostrom haben. Das ist nun wirklich einfach. Man braucht dazu nur seine letzte Stromrechnung und maximal eine halbe Stunde Zeit. Hinterher spart man viel Geld und trägt zum #Klimaschutz bei.

    Pro-Tipp wenn man Genossenschaftmitglied wird, wirtschaftet man praktisch in die eigene Tasche und man bekommt noch einen Rabatt. Ich habe bei sehr geringer Stromrechnung noch 140€ im Jahr weniger Stromkosten bei einem Wechsel von einem Ökostromanbieter zu einem anderen, genossenschaftlich organsiertem.

    Bei der Liste von @robin_wood gibt es auch nicht viel Auswahl. Diese Liste sollte man verwenden, weil andere Anbieter nur #greenwashing betreiben.

    América Latina vive nova encruzilhada colonial. Norte busca capturar suas terras raras e controlar, por meio das big techs, seu espaço público. Coesão social e natureza estão em risco, mas surgem alternativas. As decisões políticas, mais uma vez, definirão o destino

  19. Greenwashing, now available in your local grocery store..

    "More than 27,000 packaged foods sold at Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, IGA and Harris Farm supermarkets in Sydney were assessed by researchers from the George Institute for Global Health.

    Nearly four in 10 products carried some sort of sustainability claim, the study in Public Health Nutrition found.

    Associate Prof Alexandra Jones, the institute’s program lead for food governance, said the majority of claims were self-declared by the manufacturer, without independent verification.

    “Consumers are increasingly trying to make food choices that are good for the planet, and manufacturers know it. What we’re finding is that the labels designed to guide those choices are largely unregulated and that creates real risks of greenwashing.”

    Out of 69 different environmental claims identified by the researchers, “natural” and “vegan” appeared most often. Some, like “sustainable” or “natural”, were so broad as to be almost meaningless, she said.

    “There’s no legal meaning of ‘natural’, but we know that people associate it with being better for you, or being better for the environment,” she said. “But many things are natural that are not good in a health context. Sugar is natural – that doesn’t mean it’s good for you.”"

  20. @kdekooter Dat kan zo zijn, dan moeten we daar weer iets op verzinnen. Maar wij kunnen in Europa helaas niet zonder #staal en kunnen hier waarschijnlijk groener produceren dan elders. Althans, als met groene waterstof geproduceerd wordt. Ik ben niet voor #greenwashing, hoor. En afhankelijkheid van de VS of veel andere landen en regio’s zijn voor staal lijkt mij geen goed idee. #Tata moet wel #opruimen.

  21. Boy, #SanfordME seems to be the target of #Greenwashing #SnakeOilSalesmen! First an Amazon #Datacenter, now they want to truck all the #PFAS to a plant that may or may not work!

    Residents pack Sanford forum on #biosolids plant, asking questions and voicing concerns

    #AriesCleanTechnologies saw a major turnout at the open house it held to explain its proposal, and some attendees were left frustrated by a lack of answers.

    by Penelope Overton and Abigail Driscoll
    Posted February 25, 2026

    Excerpt: "According to the official Aries Technologies website, the gasification process destroys 99% of forever chemicals. [I've seen other percentages cited! 95%, 97%... Who knows exactly how much?!!]

    "Some people aren’t convinced.
    'We haven’t seen any third-party research that backs their claims,' said Eve Dumont-Wilson, a representative from the #SanfordCleanAirAndWaterCoalition, a group that began this month to promote transparency from Aries and share its concerns over the possible environmental impacts of the proposed treatment center.

    " 'We want assurances that they will be held accountable in the event of a spill,' Dumont-Wilson explained, adding that one of the coalition’s concerns is how little research has been done into the process Aries uses." [Sneaky, sneaky! Just like the datacenters!!!]

    [...]

    "Despite these assurances, the developer faces a high bar in proving its #gasification technology is ready for large-scale use. Aries acknowledged its facility in #LindenNJ, has been 'temporarily idled' for equipment upgrades [and it only functioned intermittently for a year before being closed!]. The company maintains that the issues were related to dryers rather than the core technology."

  22. Ein fossiles #Energieunternehmen wie #Eni sponsert die Olympischen Winterspiele 2026, während es laut #Greenpeace mit seinen Emissionen zur #Erderwärmung beiträgt und damit genau das bedroht, was gefeiert werden soll: den Winter.

    Die Kampagne „Oilympics“ kritisiert die #Greenwashing-Strategie und fordert ein Verbot von Öl- und #Gaswerbung im #Sport. Ohne Kurswechsel könnten viele Austragungsorte bald schneefrei sein.

  23. #Hydropower Developer No-Show Leaves #Navajos with More Questions than Answers

    Chapter officials table hydropower resolution, ask for more community info sessions as FERC seeks to end a policy blocking permits on Tribal land absent Tribal support

    by #HerbYazzie, Coal-Lease Area Resident; #AdrianHerder, #TóNizhóníÁní; #TaylorMcKinnon, #CenterForBiologicalDiversity
    via #CensoredNews, Nov. 21, 2025

    Excerpts: #KayentaAZ— "On a cloudy, rainy Wednesday afternoon, the Kayenta Chapter held its monthly meeting where a resolution by #NatureAndPeopleFirst was first on the agenda. Impacted community members from the coal-lease area on Black Mesa (#DziłYíjiin) filled the chapter house to voice concern about the resolution. But before discussions could begin, Chapter officials tabled the resolution because the developers didn’t show up.

    "Nature and People First (#NPF) are developers who are pushing #PumpedStorageHydropower (#PSH) on the #NavajoNation, particularly in the #BlackMesa region. Pumped storage pumps water uphill during low electricity prices and then releases it back downhill through generators when electricity prices are high, producing electricity and revenue. Pumped storage #hydropower, which requires huge amounts of water, is different than hydrogen, which other developers wanted piped across the Nation."

    [...]

    "#TóNizhóníÁní (#TNA) e-filed comments objecting to #FERC’s proposed policy reversal along with the #CenterForBiologicalDiversity, #AmericanRivers and more than a dozen #tribes across the US. 'For decades, #CoalMining on #BlackMesa has not only extracted coal but also billions of gallons of #groundwater to support the #mining operation,' wrote #AdrianHerder with Tó Nizhóní Ání. 'Energy projects that propose to use large amounts of water for #EnergyProduction should be vetted diligently.' Water access and reliability is crucial for our communities on Black Mesa and the southwest region of the United States.

    "Tribal communities understand the resources and impacts by industry. Any project that proposes to use groundwater when it has been heavily impacted and in a state of recovery should not be considered for continued industry use."

  24. #RecyclingLead for U.S. Car Batteries Is #Poisoning People

    By Peter S. Goodman, Will Fitzgibbon and Samuel Granados Visuals by Finbarr O’Reilly and Carmen Abd Ali
    Nov. 18, 2025

    Excerpt: "The #AutoIndustry touts #BatteryRecycling as an environmental success story. Lead from old batteries, when recycled cleanly and safely, can be melted down and reused again and again with minimal pollution.

    "But companies have rejected proposals to use only lead that is certified as safely produced. Automakers have excluded lead from their #environmental policies.
    Battery makers rely on the assurances of trading companies that lead is recycled cleanly. These intermediaries rely on perfunctory audits that make recommendations, not demands.

    "The industry, in effect, built a global supply system in which everyone involved can say someone else is responsible for oversight.

    "#Nigeria, the economic engine of West Africa, is among the fastest-growing sources of recycled lead for American companies."

  25. #Subsidizing #Clearcuts.
    Communities and forest workers need a new social contract, not a corporate bailout.

    watershedsentinel.ca/article/s

    In June, USW Local 1-1937 went on strike in Tree Farm License 64 because the company insists on hiring non-union contractors to do union work. The new TFL is held by Western Forest Products and La-Kwa sa muqw, a partnership of four Vancouver Island First Nations: Tlowitsis, We Wai Kai, Wei Wai Kum, and K’omoks.

    Forest industry losses will continue because the Canadian lumber industry is barely profitable. Almost all the old growth forests are gone. The easy-to-reach, low-elevation, high-value trees were taken years ago. What’s left is the “guts and feathers,” as Wilderness Committee campaign director Joe Foy says.

    It costs politicians nothing to claim that this bailout will benefit workers. But the only thing they can guarantee is a new round of austerity: cutting wages and benefits and replacing union workers with non-union contractors – the same gambit that led to the Steelworkers’ strike.

  26. Unas reflexiones sobre las herramientas a disposición de las empresas que quieran (o estén obligadas legalmente a) comunicar sobre sostenibilidad.

    "El respeto de los derechos de consumidores y usuarios es un elemento clave para asegurar la sostenibilidad y debería ser un pilar básico de las corporaciones responsables, siendo necesaria la implicación de toda la cadena de valor y de todos los procesos de toma de decisiones.

    Herramientas e instrumentos para asegurar una relación transparente entre corporaciones y usuarios no faltan. La cuestión es si existe esa voluntad y si el modelo de negocio es capaz incorporar los valores de la sostenibilidad más allá de una estrategia comercial para abultar la cuenta de resultados."
