There is no organization called "antifa" - so, why label a non-existent group "terrorists"? This gives the regime maximum scope to hunt down opposition and critics. They label you "antifa", and then they come for you. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Every year, billions of vehicles worldwide shed an estimated 6 million tonnes of tire fragments. These tiny flakes of plastic, generated by normal driving, account for 28% of microplastics entering the environment globally. Heavy vehicles eg SUVs/EVs especially. Via @us.theconversation.com

There is a better way! 🤩 Data centres are essential infrastructure, but instead of allowing computational excess, we need laws that go further than efficiency, prioritising sufficiency, circularity, and transparency.

Data centres have big environmental impacts, and with #AI driving growth, they’re rising 🤖 👀 New report from ECOS with @openfuture.bsky.social shows how to make #DataCentres more sustainable: ecostandard.org/publications... 🎧 Learn more at our webinar (it’s today!): us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

UK faces mounting stockpile of used EV batteries on.ft.com/4m9iCL9

Israel have bombed another hospital. Waited for medics to arrive - and then bombed again. Britain keeps selling arms to this genocidal regime. Starmer & Lammy say they're "horrified". They condemn. But they do nothing. All the war criminals must face justice.

This is an INSANE decision by the E.U. “By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the U.S., the E.U. has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice that puts trade convenience ahead of saving lives.” This will kill people.

Europe’s most powerful political party has picked an unexpected enemy: NGOs. After it claimed Brussels was secretly bankrolling green lobbyists, journalists Lise Witteman and Hans Wetzels of Follow the Money found a very different story.

Achieving universal access to clean cooking in Africa by 2040 would bring huge benefits It would prevent 4.7 million premature deaths, free up time for women & children, create nearly half a million jobs & cut emissions by around 550 million tonnes 👉 iea.li/3ISaFM8

📣 “Stop hiding behind consensus” — a powerful call outside #PlasticsTreaty talks. “We need people outside the talks to tell their countries to speak up. Are they standing for their citizens, or Big Oil?” urged @theeco_nomist 🇵🇦 “No production, no treaty.” bit.ly/4mxCvfk

Globally, data centres are set to make up less than 10% of electricity demand growth to 2030. But some regions are more affected. Data centres could account for: ▶️ Nearly 50% of demand growth in the US ▶️ Over 50% in Japan ▶️ Up to 20% in Malaysia 👉 iea.li/4fd7FGA

Weaker laws on chemical safety, anyone? No? Can't tempt you? The government's fetish for slashing red tape continues. On today's menu: 1. More biocides in rivers 2. More secrecy around decision making Off the menu: adopting the EU's new ban on hormone disrupting chemicals in children's toys

Unsure about recycling claims and symbols used on #plastic packaging? You're not alone. A new poll (commissioned by @clientearth.bsky.social) shows that many European consumers believe products with recycling logos will actually be recycled if properly disposed of. But this simply isn't accurate.

🚨 The EU has just classified fossil-based #hydrogen projects using #CCS as ‘low-carbon’. However, the chosen definition is based on estimated #methane emission values that are too low, which will lock Europe into continued fossil fuel use. More details in our blog 👇 ecostandard.org/news_events/...

Not all #hydrogen is created equal ⚖️ From high to low, emissions vary. 😈 The devil is in the definitions — and the EU’s Low-Carbon Fuels Delegated Act is about to set them. The big question: what kinds of hydrogen should qualify as ‘low-carbon’? 🤔👇 ecostandard.org/news_events/...

EU politicians are presenting green hydrogen as a win-win fuel, claiming it will lead to low-carbon industrialisation in the Global South while decarbonising economies in Europe. The reality on the ground, however, is much dirtier — and very far from win-win.

How does anyone justify this? Seriously, how?
