Taylor’s nuclear spin is an intense form of greenwashing from a party hellbent on fossil fuels
reneweconomy.com.au/taylors-nu

Ketan Joshi shows in this article how the LNP tells outrageous lies. Angus Taylor is doing the dirty work of the LNP's fossil fuel overlords, hyping nuclear that he knows will never be built so they can keep us hooked on coal. He's making election campaign promises the LNP has no intention of keeping.

RenewEconomy · Taylor’s nuclear spin is an intense form of greenwashing from a party hellbent on fossil fuelsIt’s not clear what’s worse: That the Coalition really means its nuclear plan, or is just making it up to push ahead with coal and gas.

"#BigOil, the billionaires & their legions of puppets all have very direct, clear reasons to maintain this broken & burning status quo. The only thing that can stop them remains US. They have all the money but there's way more of us than them. The battle for #HeartsAndMinds never had higher stakes"

Billiges #Greenwashing oder effizientes Werkzeug für den #Klimaschutz? Für @klimafakten habe ich die verschiedenen Formen der Bepreisung von #CO2 untersucht – vor allem, was der #Emissionshandel der EU bringt.

This German NGO stops companies from greenwashing products.

It’s not uncommon to see products sold on shop shelves that market themselves as ‘carbon neutral’ or ‘environmentally friendly’. But these claims are not always clear or backed up by evidence - and courts are forcing companies to take them down.

For three years, DUH has been taking companies to court for dubious advertising claims about climate neutrality.

"It's a hearts & minds thing. #BigOil has always understood that & we'd better get smart about it fast. As for talking about #ClimateChange, it wasn't even the right time to talk about it during the #LAWildfires, which came with $250 billion worth of damages. That's if money's all you care about."

Like everyone in #birminghamuk I'm affected by the bin strikes which means my recycling isn't being collected. I can't get to the tip myself / I don't want to just throw away my recycling which means it is all collecting in my flat.

A relative back home mentioned 'biodegradable trash bags' the idea being I could throw out my cardboard recycling and it would biodegrade at the dump / landfill.

Question: do these really work or is this #greenwashing ? Doesn't biodegrading require air?

Widerstand gegen grüne Wasserstoffprojekte

"Ein deutsches Unternehmen kauft Land in Uruguay und in Namibia, um dort grünen Wasserstoff herzustellen. Bewohner*innen vor Ort berichten. Es fällt auf, dass von diesem Vorhaben ausschließlich die Industrieländer profitieren. Interessant ist auch die Frage, warum vorliegende Studien zu grünem Wasserstoff aus dem globalen Süden, zum Beispiel aus Uruguay, scheinbar nicht mit einbezogen werden....."

Nachrichtenpool Lateinamerika · Widerstand gegen grüne WasserstoffprojekteGrüner Wasserstoff aus Uruguay soll in Europa als Alternative zu fossilen Brennstoffen genutzt werden. Doch wer profitioert davon?

"It never had to be this way & all of it remains entirely fixable by a well-informed populace even now. That means rooting out things like foreign ownership of our national media & the indoctrination of our children by the now largely foreign-owned big oil companies. It's a hearts and minds thing."

CO2-Kompensationsprojekte stehen oft zurecht in der Kritik -> Vorwurf #greenwashing

Das es auch anders geht zeigt Newsletter, der mich gerade erreicht hat:

Atmosfair baut neuartige Produktionsanlagen für #Pflanzenkohle in Ghana atmosfair.de/de/pflanzenkohle-

Die NGO hat div. gute Bewertungen. siehe auch entspr. WP-Artikel: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosfai

Ich hatte vor paar Jahren mal die C02-Mengen für Urlaubsflüge dort per Spende ausgeglichen.

atmosfair · atmosfair baut Produktionsanlagen für Pflanzenkohle in GhanaIn 300 Dörfern produzieren wir jetzt Pflanzenkohle mit innovativen Pyrolyseanlagen. Damit ziehen wir CO₂ aus der Atmosphäre und binden es dauerhaft im Boden.

"I get it. It's a lot. But for the record the 'a lot' was predicted. #ClimateChange was always going to keep pounding away at us while other global dangers rose & pounded away too, each making the other worse. Welcome to the not-so-great feedback loop, population you & everybody else. So now what?"
