#Greenwashing: How the EU is seeking to address false claims https://p.dw.com/p/4RZh2?maca=en-Twitter-sharing The Green Claims Directive would require firms to substantiate their climate-friendly claims with evidence.
Worth mentioning that folk often assume climate change is the primary culprit of terrestrial extinction. While atmospheric warming is indeed a new stressor on the block, it is habitat loss & land change that is doing the most harm to the wild. And it so happens the primary driver of habitat loss is animal agriculture & its feedcrops (Living Planet Report, 2022).
In other words, the 6th Extinction event on our home planet cannot be averted wiithout changing what we eat, and how we produce it.

Great, hugely important read by @fershad regarding #SustainableWebDesign & #GreenWeb🌱: „There seems to be a growing consensus that network energy utilisation doesn’t correlate 1:1 with data transfer over said network.“ More work needed for the next, solidified iteration of SWD principles 👇 https://www.fershad.com/writing/is-data-the-best-proxy-for-website-carbon-emissions/

Bit of a long shot, but could my good mastodon follower folk give me some boosts?
I'm starting work on a documentary podcast series about the future of space; renewable/sustainable technologies, commercialism in the sector and the public's perception of it all.
I'm hoping to connect with people who know space to complement my client's contacts, so any signal boosting would be appreciated!
