  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. 👻 #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?

    Wie viel CO₂ lässt sich wirklich dauerhaft unterirdisch speichern?

    Zwischen ambitionierten Versprechen, Hochrechnungen und realistischen Schätzungen liegen Welten. Wenn dann noch vermeidbare fossile Emissionen gespeichert werden, ist das sowohl schlecht für den #Klimaschutz als auch für die wertvollen Speicherressourcen.

  4. ⁨⁨Aufruf für den #3Oktober!

    Klar, diese #Menschenkette ist nicht mehr, aber auch nicht weniger als ein symbolischer Akt für unsere #Zukunft.

    Zeigt, dass wir in der #Gesellschaft viele sind, die nicht hinnehmen, dass alles Liebens- & Lebenswerte in #Natur und auf diesem #Planet in der #Klimakrise verdorrt – wortwörtlich: #EsBrennt! – und durch fossile Auspuffe oder Kamine gejagt wird.🔥

    Wir fordern: #Grundgesetz einhalten! Auch in #BadenWürttemberg. @RegierungBW & @GrueneES
    , die Duldung der #Solvay-Schweinerei & #SF6-Emissionen ist pures #Greenwashing und torpediert #Klimaschutz in der #Landespolitik!

  5. Interne documenten tonen aan: Shell kende gebreken oliepijpleiding in Nigerdelta maar pakte die niet aan (NRC kadolink)

    Olievervuiling Shell bleef doelbewust een gebrekkige oliepijpleiding gebruiken in de Nigerdelta waardoor grootschalige olievervuiling kon ontstaan, in strijd met de eigen gedragscode. Het is een van de bevindingen in een op Shell-documenten gebaseerd rapport van acht ngo’s. „Shell heeft zijn aandeelhouders misleid.”

  6. #Greenwashing isn’t excluded from poorly designed #CarboOffset schemes in Australia and a lot more needs to be done to make them work as they are intended to. I know that. But some people are just dead set against leaving a planet that can be habitable to future generations, to satify their short term self-interests and political agenda.

    Opposition to a projct which involves native reforestation alongside reduced grazing land (and in this case other ‘agricultural’ production) on whatever grounds sure seems like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

    Government handouts to make #ClimateAction happen isn’t a zero sum game. In our current #NeoLIberal economic climate, that is what govt have to do to lower emmissions and save ecosystems for the greater good. It would be better if govt declared whole swathes of Country off limit to exploitation forever, but some nutters would bring up #cultural (whose culture?) and #historical (whose history?) loss as well as loss of productive agricultural land (whatever that means if clearfelling, pesticides, herbicides and fertilizer are all required to make it so). I won’t even talk about the economic and ecological folly of growing meat on the hoof at industrial scales.

  10. ‘Taking the mickey’: Inner-city council tears up e-bike deal
    theage.com.au/national/victori

    The City of Yarra has ended its farcical, greenwashing, multimillion dollar, six-year, on-and-off "trial" with Lime e-bikes.

    Previously, there was a brief suspension of the contract due to Lime failing to pick-up their trash that had been dumped inconsiderately in bad locations by customers, and because Lime got caught saturating the city with more hire vehicles than the contract permitted. And, it's been suspected by some people that Lime had also been dumping e-bikes: trucking them into suburbs and treating public footpaths as their own depot.

    This final cancellation of the Lime contract means several inner city suburbs of Melbourne will finally be rid of the problem of shitty people with shitty cycling skills and shitty attitudes to safety, who were riding shitty rental e-bikes and scooters, and making shitty decisions about where to dump them.

  13. #Público publicando como noticias publireportajes de #Moeve (#CEPSA).

    Al menos ponen la marca de "Ofrecido por Moeve". La estrategia de #Greenwashing ya es conocida. Exxon y compañia ya lo hicieron. Invertir mas en publicidad que en la propia investigacion que acaba no llegando a ningun sitio.

    Ademas el dinero es publico, del Next Generation. Todo muy publi. Publico, Publicidad, Publireportaje, Arcas Publicas.

  15. #Reciprocity, #Respect, #Relationality: Three Rs to Understand #IndigenousPerspectives on Development in the #Green conomy

    By Edson Krenak, May 27, 2026

    "Reciprocity is more than a practice; it is our way of life, the way of life. Instead of focusing solely on economic growth, without limit, we must pay attention to check whether all beings are enjoying life in a healthy place. Without reciprocity, the green economy will reproduce the same extractive logic it claims to overcome, and eventually fail our common home, Earth."

  16. @paulschoe The #greenwashing ratio of #FossilFuels, investing 10% of their profits to keep #renewables complacent, relies on keeping investments in place to maximize their majority profits - fossil fuels.

    Keeping lithium fulfilling most of the initial capital outlay, keeps investors/shareholders loyal, while feeding the fossil fuels upstream.

    #SodiumIon #batteries have been viable for decades, given the removal of fossil fuels leaders. THIS is where we've failed miserably. #resist

  17. 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.”"

  18. 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.

    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."

  19. #KnowledgeByte: #Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (#CCUS) is a process that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from sources like power plants and refineries. The captured CO2 can then be reused or stored so it doesn't enter the atmosphere.

    Is it really helpful for Climate or just #Greenwashing?

  21. Oil and gas giant #TotalEnergies found guilty of #greenwashing
    by a Paris court to have deceived consumers by overstating its climate pledges & its role as an active player in the fight against global warming

    The court last week ordered TotalEnergies to remove those #misleading #environmentalclaims from its website, in a move NGOs say marks the first time a major oil company has been penalized for greenwashing

  22. "Corporate tax transparency data released yesterday by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) shows, once again, that multinational gas exporters are reaping billions from Australian resources while paying little or no tax.

    “It beggars belief that a company like Santos can spend a decade selling almost $50 billion worth of gas and not pay a cent of tax on it," said Rod Campbell, Research Director at the Australia Institute.

    Big gas is taking the piss and Australian governments are letting them. It has to stop."

  23. The future of travel and our planet - The looming death of the holiday industry

    "Do heatwaves, wildfires and travel costs signal the end of the holiday abroad? We have already entered the beginning of the age of non-tourism,” said Gössling, to an uneasy audience of travel agencies, car rental companies, cruise operators and hoteliers. Leading researcher forecasts ‘beginning of the age of non-tourism’ despite industry returning to pre-pandemic highs. Eighty years from now, I’m doubtful there will be much tourism left in the world.” "

    "Ausgerechnet der Themenfonds 'Blue Economy', den DWS gemeinsam mit dem WWF … entwickelt hatte, zeigt die Staatsanwaltschaft als zweites Beispiel für das Greenwashing der DWS.

    Beworben wurde der Fonds … mit 'Investieren in Unternehmen, die … zu einer Gesundung der Meere beitragen.' Der Fonds investiert auch in Aktien von Royal Caribbean, einer der größten Kreuzfahrtgesellschaften der Welt."

  25. Beware of "compostable" products that aren't actually compostable at home. In digging through my compost pile this week I unearthed 3 forks (from takeout food I purchased several years ago) that I think were made by the California-based company, Karat Earth (aka Lollicup). On Amazon and elsewhere the sentence the company uses in marketing is "simply toss the fork into a compost bin when finished." And the forks themselves have the text, "compostable" embossed on them. On company's own website, however, is a logo from the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) indicating, in a small font, that forks are "commercially compostable only," which means they only begin to break down at ~190 °F (88 °C). Somebody needs to file a class-action lawsuit to force greater transparency on marketing materials. #compost #composting #fork #takeout #food #psa #plastic #restaurants #greenwashing #polymer #corn #bioplastic
