  4. Die #Stadtradeln Initiative erlaubt mal wieder die absolut folgenlose Simulation etwas für menschenfreundlichere Städte zu machen.

    Ein bisschen #Gamification schafft doch keine Bedingungen, die es erlauben sich sicher auf dem Rad durch unsere autozentrierten Städte zu bewegen. Die Kampagne selbst packt auf ihre Landing Page auch gleich lieber ein Bild von zwei Radelnden im ländlichen Grün anstatt einer realistischen Abbildung das brutalen Alltags.

    Ganz nebenbei (oder?) wird eine riesige #Datenkrake, bei der tausende Menschen in ihrem Alltagsverhalten getrackt werden, aufgebaut.

  7. 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.”"

    Vielleicht ist es Absicht das die lautstarke #Klimaschutz-Blase nur der nötige Lärm erzeugt, um davon abzulenken, was wirklich hinter der Wand passiert: Während wir über CO2-Ziele streiten, zementiert Big Tech die Allianz mit dem Pentagon und Palantir.

    Die grüne Fassade bröckelt, sobald die Infrastruktur für globale Überwachung und Militär-KI Vorrang hat. Wer nur auf das Klima schaut, übersieht den Einzug der digitalen Festung. IMHO

  16. We export our waste and call it philantropy.

    African countries have tried banning imports of used clothes to protect their own textile economies, but so far have been punished for it.

    60% of it acrually ends up on landfills, decomposing into #microplastics polluting local ecosystems.

    Do not ship used clothes to ruin African markets, as no weaver can compete with cost on free!

    "The expansion would increase emissions, though the airport says it aims for net zero ground operations by 2030 and net zero flights by 2050."

  22. @davidgerard @AimeeMaroux Google’s offloading their #EnvironmentalImpact with #OnDeviceAI in #Chrome where every browser is now a 4GB micro-LLM; shifting load and performance onto the user.

    This extra #Bloatware and #GreenWashing can be disabled by going to Settings->System and disabling on-device AI. I’m not certain about phones or tablets.

  23. @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.

  24. theguardian.com/business/2026/. #CCS projects are hardly "green" in the first place, & much of what passed for BP's "green agenda" was mere #greenwashing. It is a #fossilfuel firm, dedicated to wrecking the #planet & screwing the #climate!

  25. In today’s newsletter, Business of Fashion writes:

    “As sustainability loses its allure, brands are reframing their messaging around use of natural fibres or avoidance of chemicals to appeal to customers.”

    Translated into one simple word: greenwashing.
