  1. #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.' "

  3. ACCR has appealed the decision of Justice Markovic in the case of ACCR v Santos Ltd.

    accr.org.au/news/accr-to-appea

    Commenting on ACCR’s decision to appeal, Brynn O’Brien, Co-CEO of ACCR said:

    'This case concerns fundamental legal standards that apply to all businesses in Australia responding to climate change, and which are central to the integrity of market disclosures. The legal issues raised in the judgment warrant clarification by an appellate court.

    'In our view, the judgment sets the bar for corporate communication about climate commitments well below market and investor expectations. We think it increases the burden on investors to interrogate the full context in which claims are made, and the assumptions, uncertainties, and emerging technologies that may underpin them.

    'Businesses doing hard, evidence-driven work in the energy transition need clear guidance on the standards governing climate disclosures.'

  4. #Kerala fishermen up in arms against #DeepSeaMining proposal off #Kollam coast

    March 22, 2025

    "The fishermen in Kerala have already launched several protests against the proposed plan to open up the sea to private mining companies as part of the Union Government’s ‘Blue Economy’ initiative.

    "All the fishermen’s associations stand united in their protests against this proposal, alleging that it would bring an end to the fisheries sector in the country, not only in the #ArabianSea but also in the #BayOfBengal.

    “ 'The mining, according to the scientific report we have, can disturb the seabed and completely destroy fish spawning habitats. It can also release poisonous gases trapped on the #DeepSeaFloor, causing severe #environmental issues,' Kerala Minister for Fisheries, Saji Cherian, told PTI.

    "He said that deep-sea mining requires huge investments and heavy machinery, meaning only #multinational #corporations will be involved, making these areas completely inaccessible to poor fishermen.

    "The Kerala government, which is strongly opposing this project, passed a resolution in the Assembly urging the Centre to withdraw it.

    "The Minister said the proposed site, off the Kollam shore in Kerala in the Arabian Sea, is very rich in marine resources and serves as a lifeline for fishermen from Kerala and other states.

    “ 'We have a highly diverse and extensive fish population in this area. The mining will completely wipe out this habitat, severely affecting the livelihood of fishermen in our region,' Saji Cherian said."

  6. #KleeBenally's on his cover of the #TomWaits song "Earth Died Screaming."

    "#Climatechange is a consequence of the war against #MotherEarth.
    The #greenwashing of #capitalism and #colonialism perpetuates the nightmare of #ecocide and #genocide of #IndigenousPeoples.

    "#LithiumMining is intensifying to meet demand of 'green' #EV cars. This means further targeting and destruction of #Indigenous #SacredLands and water. Support #Hualapai & #Shoshone (and beyond!) resistance to lithium mining.

    From mining, transport, milling, and waste, 'clean/green' #Nuclear energy is a deadly lie. There are more than 10,000 abandoned uranium throughout the so-called US that have been left to permanently contaminate our communities with deadly #radioactive pollution. There is also no permanent plan to deal with the highly radioactive waste from nuclear power generation. #YuccaMountain, a sacred site for #WesternShoshone, is still being considered for a national nuclear waste repository.

    "For wind turbines, solar panels, and electric vehicles, #ResolutionCopper proclaims that they desperately need to mine the copper beneath #OakFlat, a sacred site for #SanCarlosApache.

    "We can't ignore the brutal impacts associated with the sourcing of necessary metals and minerals needed to
    'sustain' unsustainable ways of life.

  7. Still reeling from #PFAS spill, #BrunswickMaine residents push back on plans for #sludge treatment plant

    by AnnMarie Hilton, Tue, January 28, 2025

    "Brunswick resident Sandra Carslick said she and her neighbors have been living in a 'bad dream' for the five months since 1,600 gallons of toxic foam spilled so-called forever chemicals at the already contaminated former Naval Air Station nearby.

    "At a Brunswick Town Council meeting on Monday night, Carslick said that bad dream could soon become residents’ 'worst nightmare,' if the town reopens a processing site for chemical-laden [#Biosolids] sludge from sewer treatment plants across Maine, and potentially beyond.

    "The residents were responding to plans from Delaware-based #ViridiEnergy to update and expand #BrunswickLanding’s anaerobic digester, which converts sewage sludge — also referred to as #biosolids — into renewable natural gas and byproducts that get sent to landfills.

    "During Monday’s presentation to the town council, company representatives explained how the facility would work and what local residents could expect. Several councilors said they would like to see additional data before deciding, but some already expressed concerns that the project isn’t right for Brunswick, particularly at this time. Members of the public also spoke for more than an hour, overwhelmingly concerned about the project and its potential to bring more #HarmfulChemicals into the area.
    "The town is still dealing with the accidental discharge last summer of #firefighting foam containing #perfluoroalkyl and #polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as #PFAS, at a hangar at #BrunswickExecutiveAirport, which is also situated at Brunswick Landing.

    "The spill has prompted environmental and public health concerns over the PFAS, which have been linked to serious long-term health problems including #cancer, weakened #immune systems, developmental issues, and more. Since it started surveying and reviewing the material in the late 1980s, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [#EPA] has found more than 700 chemicals in sewage sludge, including PFAS.

    "Chet Benham, a senior advisor and one of the founders of Viridi, tried to address those concerns during the meeting, telling residents the facility will operate according to all state and local requirements. He said there are protocols to prevent spills of the sludge that will move through the closed-loop facility.

    "'We feel really, really good about it,' Benham said. 'We wouldn’t be standing here before you if we didn’t.' [Typical #Greenwashing #Bullshit]

    "According to Viridi’s plan, the facility would take in about 85,000 tons of biosolids per year, which would be processed into renewable natural gas that would feed into Maine Natural Gas. About 10,000 tons of solid material byproduct would be sent from the plant to the #JuniperRidgeLandfill in Old Town. Over the course of the discussion, it came to light that Viridi would also likely bring in sludge from outside of Maine in order to run their facility at full capacity."

    They keep killing the ancients.
    Men who kill elder trees, are men who kill their children's futures.
    Souls must be disconnected from nature & their spirits desperate for money, for them to be OK destroying #OldGrowth forests, for a temporary paycheque.
    There are more ethical ways to earn a living.
    Stop believing industrial & government #greenwashing lies.
    #ClearcutLogging kills #ecosystems & throws #ecological balance out of whack.

    Government tells us to not fret, that they're managing #forestry better - they're #greedy, #sellout #LIARS. You can go see for yourself, how many clearcuts are still happening on big scales, at several places across Vancouver Island & some parts of BC interior where greedy corporations are decimating the last inland #TemperateRainforest in the world. Our #neoliberal BC NDP government is OK with ongoing mass ecocide - they get money from industry lobbyists 🤑🤮😡

    Don't stop, fighting to #ProtectOldGrowth #forests 🌲❤️🌲 #AncientTrees need #ForestDefenders in times of increased, rampant #CorporateGreed & sellout #ecocide enabling governments ✊️

  12. Battle of #LithiumMining at #Paiute Massacre Site Links Struggles Against #Greenwashing Around the World

    By Brenda Norrell, #CensoredNews
    December 6, 2023

    "The struggle to protect #PeeheeMuhuh, #ThackerPass, from lithium mine links the #global struggles of uncontacted #Indonesians battling #nickel mining, child slaves in #Congo's #cobalt mines, and the peoples' battles against lithium mining in #Serbia and #Argentina. They are all battling the greenwashing of the false solution of #electricvehicles for #ClimateChange.

    "The desecration of the sacred Paiute Massacre site by #LithiumAmericas of Canada is proceeding because federal laws do not protect massacre sites. Further, a man camp of lithium miners threatens the rural communities of #FortMcDermitt Paiute #Shoshone Nation, and the town of #Winnemucca with crime, specifically sex trafficking.

    "Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, #RenoSparks Indian Colony Chairman Arlan Melendez called for a new mobilization of #PeacefulProtests that will bring awareness to the public about the ongoing desecration to the sacred place and the damage to the #environment. He called for support from #SouthDakota and elsewhere to bring this desecration to the forefront.

    "'We lost the lawsuit because the law favors #mining, especially in this state,' Chaimrnan Melendez said.
    'Without water, there is no life,' said Dean Barlese, #PyramidLakePaiute, who offered the opening traditional prayer honoring all created things, all sacred creation. 'We're teaching our young people these prayer songs.'

    "'Our songs are still out there on the land.'

    "Chairman Melendez said they are concerned about the crime that the mine will bring to Fort McDermitt region, in a rural area, including man camps, especially with the concern for missing and murdered women.
    The lithium boom is like the gold rush, the whole state has lithium deposits, and #Nevada's 28 bands and tribes are sure to be affected. Already, sacred sites are being desecrated by lithium mining.
    Chairman Melendez said the strategy is to mobilize tribes to speak with a louder voice so that the people will understand the devastation."

  13. #COP28 has invented a new word. One more to confuse and dilute: „Actionism“. Note the similarity but difference to Activism.


    Actionists are people - just like you - who are rising to meet the climate change challenge.

    They are the change-makers, needle-movers, and momentum-builders providing the hope, optimism, and ingenuity needed to solve humanity’s most urgent and ambitious challenge.“

  14. #DeutscheBahn ausbremsen. Bis der Tren “Maya’’ zu Grunde geht!
    "Der Konzern ist am zerstörerischen Megaprojekt Tren “Maya” in #Mexiko beteiligt. Dieses Projekt präsentiert sich als wichtige Innovation für die touristische Attraktivität Mexikos und somit dessen Modernisierung. Was der “Todeszug” jedoch an Konsequenzen mit sich bringt, ist immens. Ein rapider Abbau der Biodiversität, Landraub, Wasserknappheit, weitere Militarisierung der Region und Landesgrenzen, die todbringende Verdrängung von Menschen und ein direkter Angriff auf die Autonomie von indigenen Gemeinschaften und deren Widerstand, sind nur einige Folgen des Tren “Maya”.
    In grünen Buchstaben beschriftet die Deutsche Bahn (DB) stolz mit einem neuen Slogan ihre Züge: “Deutschlands schnellster Klimaschützer”.
    “Green- and humanright-washing” wäre wohl eine zutreffendere Selbstbezeichnung....."

  15. Er gebeurt zo veel #greenwashing omdat de begrip #Bio alleen voor levensmiddelen een wettelijk beschermt begrip is. (Better Cotton, wat je nu nog bij de HEMA vindt is net zoals labels als Cocoa Life, Rainforest Alliance or UTZ maar vooral een greenwashing label dat ecologisch niet veel oplevert). Er is dus géén wet dat het je verbied op gangbare katoen uit #Monsanto Bt-cotton "bio" te schrijven. Helaas. Dat is een enorm ramp. Allen met het label #GOTS gecetificeerde kleding is enigzinds betrouwbaar bio geproduceerd. HEMA beloofd vanaf volgend jaar "bio" katoen voor baby kleeren te gebruiken. Benieuwd of GOTS of niet...

    While the oil and gas industry touts its initiatives around CCS, hydrogen, biofuels, carbon offsets, and other purported climate “solutions,” studies have revealed the astounding gap between the sector’s climate-friendly rhetoric and its business-as-usual actions."
