The case over Google's monopoly is over, and now we wait to see what the penalties might be. Nebraska wants to make social media less addictive for kids with a new law. Germany might tax Facebook and Google more. Microsoft's carbon footprint continues to rise. I did not expect AI slop to be SO popular that now real people are trying to copy AI. And Sony might move XPERIA manufacturing to a third party.

We moeten meer bewegen tegen overgewicht, niet meer vliegen voor het klimaat en geen wegwerpplastic gebruiken om de oceanen schoon te houden. Allemaal voorbeelden van gedragsveranderingen waarmee we als individu ons steentje bij kunnen dragen aan het aanpakken van grote maatschappelijke problemen. De effecten van dergelijke veranderingen zijn over het algemeen klein, en dus hoor je steeds vaker een roep om veranderingen op grotere schaal. Waarom worden bedrijven niet aangepakt die willens en wetens spelen met onze gezondheid, die investeren in fossiele brandstoffen en meer producten maken dan we ooit met zijn allen zouden willen hebben (laat staan écht nodig hebben)? Over dit onderwerp maakten we eerder een aflevering. We bespraken daarin wetenschappelijk onderzoek waarin wordt onderbouwd dat een focus op acties van het individu succesvolle oplossingen voor o.a. obesitas, klimaatverandering, en wegwerpplastic in de weg zit. Ze leiden namelijk af van veranderingen van het systeem waarin we leven (tot grote vreugde van bedrijven die blij zijn met de status quo) en juist dat soort veranderingen zijn nodig om de hedendaagse problemen het hoofd te bieden. Aangezien dit onderwerp nog altijd relevant is, vandaag een herhaling.Een compleet overzicht met alle thema's uit de podcast en de bijbehorende afleveringen vind je hier op Rolfs Nederlandse blog.

In this powerful fireside chat, climate expert Mike Berners-Lee joins Chris Caldwell, CEO of United Renewables and host of the Conversations on Climate podcast, to tackle the uncomfortable truth behind why we're still failing to address climate change, despite decades of scientific knowledge. Speaking at the London Business School Alumni Sustainability Club, Mike Berners-Lee reveals how the climate crisis is, at its core, a crisis of truth, and why that matters for every one of us. We answer the question Can We Really Fix Climate Change Together?   Key insights include: • Why knowledge alone isn't enough to drive climate action • How systematic deception blocks meaningful progress • The crucial role of truth in leadership and decision-making • Why businesses must evolve to serve both people and planet • Practical ways to challenge misinformation and drive real change   As author of the 2024 book A Climate of Truth: Power, Privilege and the Path to Climate Justice, and professor at Lancaster University, Berners-Lee combines stark realism with grounded hope. His latest work focuses on the urgent need for truth, transparency, and justice in our collective climate response.   Whether you're a student, business leader, or concerned citizen, this conversation offers critical insight into how we can work together to create honest, informed, and lasting climate solutions.   REFERENCES   Small World Consulting: https://www.sw-consulting.co.uk/mike-berners-lee Lancaster University: https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/lec/about-us/people/mike-berners-lee   BOOKS: A Climate of Truth: Why We Need It and How to Get It: https://bit.ly/4k7urRa There Is No Planet B: A Handbook for the Make or Break Years: https://bit.ly/42VcXlq How Bad are Bananas?: The Carbon Footprint of Everything: https://bit.ly/4j42ZmB The Burning Question: We Can't Burn Half the World's Oil, Coal and Gas.

This lesson will help you improve your ability to speak English fluently about a specific topic. It will also help you feel more confident in your English abilities.5 Vocabulary WordsGreenhouse Gases (noun): Gases in the Earth's atmosphere that trap heat and contribute to the greenhouse effect, including carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O). Example Sentences:Greenhouse gases are a major factor in global warming and climate change.Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is crucial for mitigating the effects of climate change.The increase in greenhouse gases from industrial activities has accelerated global temperature rise.Carbon Footprint (noun): The total amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases emitted by an individual, organization, or activity, typically measured in equivalent tons of CO₂.Example Sentences:By using public transportation and reducing energy consumption, you can lower your carbon footprint.The company implemented measures to reduce its carbon footprint by investing in renewable energy.Understanding your carbon footprint helps you make more environmentally conscious choices.Climate Adaptation (noun): The process of adjusting practices, policies, and structures to minimize the negative impacts of climate change and to cope with its effects.Example Sentences:Climate adaptation strategies include building flood defenses and modifying agricultural practices.Communities are investing in climate adaptation measures to protect against extreme weather events.Effective climate adaptation requires collaboration between governments, businesses, and local communities.Ecosystem (noun): A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment, functioning as a system.Example Sentences:Climate change can disrupt ecosystems by altering temperature and precipitation patterns.Coral reefs are sensitive ecosystems that are severely impacted by rising ocean temperatures.Protecting ecosystems is essential for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services.Sea Level Rise (noun): The increase in the average level of the world's oceans due to the melting of ice caps and glaciers and the thermal expansion of seawater.Example Sentences:Sea level rise poses a significant threat to coastal communities and low-lying areas.Coastal cities are implementing measures to combat sea level rise, such as building seawalls and improving drainage systems.Predictions of sea level rise vary based on future greenhouse gas emissions and climate policies.A Paragraph using the 5 vocabulary wordsClimate change is a pressing global issue with far-reaching consequences. The accumulation of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere is driving rising temperatures, leading to the melting of glaciers and subsequent sea level rise. These changes disrupt delicate ecosystems, impacting biodiversity and human communities alike. To mitigate these effects, reducing carbon footprints through sustainable practices is crucial. Additionally, climate adaptation strategies are essential to build resilience and protect vulnerable populations from the increasing impacts of extreme weather events.If you want to sign up for the free daily English vocabulary newsletter, go tow

Is Hydrogen the Future of Sustainable Data Centers? The rise of AI has dramatically increased the energy demand on our ageing power grids. But what if data centers could be fully sustainable, operating entirely off-grid with zero emissions? In my latest podcast episode, I had an insightful conversation with Yuval Bachar, CEO and Founder of ECL, who is making this vision a reality. Yuval's innovative hydrogen-powered data centers represent a paradigm shift: they're not just carbon-neutral—they're carbon-free, emitting only water and even potentially giving it back to local communities.  Key Highlights: How ECL is delivering a gigawatt-scale hydrogen-powered data center in Texas. Why modular, off-grid data centers are faster, cheaper, and cleaner. The potential of hydrogen power to completely redefine data infrastructure and support AI sustainably. Listen to the episode to understand how Yuval and his team are redefining the data center landscape, making high-performance AI computing accessible and sustainable for everyone.

The Corporate Capture of Carbon Footprints: A Nonprofit Perspective In the latest episode of the Nonprofit Newsfeed, hosted by George and Nick from Whole Whale, the discussion takes a thought-provoking turn towards the concept of "corporate capture" and the real origins of the term "carbon footprint." This episode delves into how corporations, particularly British Petroleum (BP), have strategically shifted the focus of environmental responsibility onto consumers. George Weiner reveals that the term "carbon footprint" was not coined by environmental activists but was part of a $200 million PR campaign by BP in the early 2000s. This revelation highlights the concept of "guilt washing," a tactic that deflects systemic environmental issues onto individuals, thus masking the broader corporate responsibility for climate change. Key Insights and Reflections: Corporate Influence on Environmental Narratives: The episode uncovers how major corporations have historically influenced environmental discussions to avoid regulatory scrutiny, using terms like "carbon footprint" to redirect blame. The Role of Individual vs. Systemic Change: George emphasizes the importance of understanding the systemic causes of environmental degradation, suggesting that while individual actions matter, they are not the sole solution. Pope Francis' Environmental Advocacy: The episode also pays tribute to the late Pope Francis, recognizing his significant contributions to environmental advocacy. Additional Stories: Revival of the Ice Bucket Challenge: The Ice Bucket Challenge has made a comeback, this time raising awareness for mental health issues through the #SpeakYourMind campaign by University of South Carolina students. Generational Shifts in Charitable Giving: A recent Associated Press poll reveals a potential "generosity crisis" with younger Americans giving less to charity, raising questions about cultural shifts in philanthropy.

Writer Tamara Dean knew she wanted to live lightly on the planet. Her search to live a productive life while lowering her carbon footprint led her to the Driftless Area of Wisconsin — also known as Bluff Country and the Paleozoic Plateau — with dreams of become a homesteader. Dean shares her experience in her new memoir “Shelter and Storm: At Home in the Driftless.” She spoke to MPR chief meteorologist Paul Huttner for Climate Cast.The transcript below has been lightly edited for clarity and length.What prompted you to write this book? I had been spending most of my days in an office, like a lot of people in front of computers, and my partner, David, and I decided we wanted to live healthier lifestyles. We also wanted to live out our environmental principles. We didn't know where exactly we wanted to start over, but when we drove around the Driftless Area, which is mostly in the southwestern corner of Wisconsin, we recognized that this was a place where we wanted to live. You talk about being a citizen scientist in your book. What does that mean to you? A citizen scientist is someone who volunteers to study nature. In places like Wisconsin, where the Department of Natural Resources really doesn't have the funding and staffing to cover every species in the state, a citizen scientists can fill that gap and provide information to help professional scientists do their work. It's not only a rewarding opportunity for people, but it's also helpful for the state. We were citizen water monitors for the little river behind our house, and I became interested in surveys for fresh water mussels. They are some of the most endangered creatures in North America, but citizen scientists are studying where they're still thriving and that helps the people at the DNR know where to focus their efforts in helping their habitat. What do you think about the progress we've made on climate solutions so far? I think we have an over-estimation of our potential for solving the climate crisis with technology. It's definitely a necessary component of addressing the climate situation, but we also need to look at reducing our own footprints. There are ways we can do that pretty simply, whether it be reducing our travel, reducing our birth rate, or examining our diets. It doesn't have to be a hardship. It can be something easy and satisfying. You don't have to take it all on either. I think it can be a joy as well. What message do you have for anyone who wants to bring their life more in tune with our planet and our climate? I would recommend indulging your curiosity. Find what has energy for you — whether it's a particular type of landscape or a particular species — and immerse yourself in learning about that. I often think it's a shame that we think we have to go to Mars to learn something new, because all around us there are mysteries to pursue. I hope that's what my book leaves readers with. The idea that you can walk out your door and be curious and open-minded. And find a mystery that will ignite your own curiosity and passion, and pursue that to create your own story out of it.

Sustainable Solutions Corporation (SSC) collaborated with the International Sleep Products Association (ISPA) to release a special podcast episode for ISPA members. Sustainability experts Tad Radzinski and Nicole Meyer from SSC sit down with Kate Caddy on the Tad Talks Sustainability podcast to answer ISPA member's questions about sustainability. In this concise yet powerful 36-minute episode, Tad, Nicole, and Kate tackle the following questions: What is corporate sustainability and why is it important? How does sustainability relate to a person's company or job, even when it's not their main function? What are Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions? What the differences are between Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions? Why is it important to measure, understand, and reduce your emissions? How does energy efficiency and waste reduction relate to sustainability? What are some best practices to increase employee engagement in sustainability?

Last week, President Trump issued sweeping tariffs on goods coming into the United States, with a 10% tariff across the board and higher duties on imports from certain trading partners – specifically Asian countries. While administration officials argued the tariffs would eventually lead to more manufacturing jobs returning to the US, many critics say this will significantly raise the price of goods and slow the country's economy. Blake Paterson, reporter for the Times-Picayune/The Advocate, tells us more about how these tariffs will likely impact Louisiana businesses and consumers. When you think about pollution, cars and planes are the most harmful modes of transportation.  That's something former Coastal Desk reporter Halle Parker really cares about. So when she traveled home to New Orleans from  Chicago, she decided to reduce her carbon emissions — and try out the train. Today, we hear how it went.Marginalized communities often have to bear the brunt of environmental injustices, while also coming up with their own solutions. An annual conference in New Orleans has celebrated the role students play in addressing climate change. Danny McArthur of the Gulf States Newsroom attended the conference to report on how the region  is growing the next generation of changemakers.—Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

In a quiet laboratory in Manchester, a quiet revolution is brewing that could dramatically reshape the construction industry's environmental impact. LAMDA, a groundbreaking wool insulation panel, promises to challenge the dominance of petrochemical-based building materials while offering a sustainable, health-conscious alternative.Vicente Orts Mercadillo from Vector Homes and Ruth Marie Mackrodt of Wool Insulation Wales are pioneering a material that does far more than simply keep buildings warm. Their innovation tackles multiple environmental and health challenges simultaneously."Construction is responsible for around 40% of global carbon emissions," explains Ruth, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable alternatives. In the UK alone, 9% of the national carbon footprint comes from manufacturing construction materials.The LAMDA panel's credentials are impressive. Made from Welsh mountain sheep wool, it's fire-retardant, sound-absorbing, breathable, and capable of neutralising volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Perhaps most crucially, it's fully circular - at the end of its life, the panel can be recycled to create new insulation.Currently, between 70-90% of Europe's wool clip is buried in the ground annually - a shocking waste of a potentially revolutionary material. Vicente, a material scientist, describes wool as "a highly technical fibre" that nature has "bio-engineered" over thousands of years.The panel's unique structure comes from wool's inherent properties. Its crimped fibres trap air pockets, providing exceptional insulation. The fibres' scaled exterior allows them to tangle, creating a network that breathes while maintaining thermal efficiency.Critically, LAMDA addresses a significant health concern. A recent study suggested that around 4,000 childhood asthma cases in the UK are caused annually by formaldehyde inhalation from construction materials. LAMDA not only avoids using formaldehyde but can actually absorb such harmful chemicals from indoor environments.The current insulation market is dominated by energy-intensive mineral wools and petrochemical foams. In the UK, less than 0.1% of insulation is bio-based - a statistic the LAMDA team is determined to change."Change doesn't have to come from the top," Ruth emphasises. "It can come from the bottom, with lots of people making the right choices."The team is actively seeking collaboration with architects, designers, and investors. Their vision extends beyond the UK, with potential for global replication using local wool resources.As the world grapples with climate crisis, LAMDA represents more than just an insulation product. It's a potential blueprint for reimagining how we construct our built environment - prioritising human and planetary health.Vicente dreams of a design approach that reconnects people with local materials and their surrounding environment. Ruth advocates for a longer-term perspective that considers environmental and health costs beyond immediate economic gains.LAMDA might just be the wonder that helps us build a more sustainable future - one panel at a time.www.wulltechnologies.comhttps://www.vectorhomes.co.ukhttps://web-eur.cvent.com/event/6f895721-0d82-42d2-874b-3419d89f6ed8/summaryIf you like this, please subscribe!Have you got a copy of the Journal?

Send me a messageThe Sustainability Thread: Digitalising Supply Chain SustainabilityIn this episode of The Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I sit down with Klaus Brettschneider, Director of Sustainability Products at Linx-AS, to explore how digitalisation is transforming sustainability management. Klaus introduces the concept of the sustainability thread—an evolution of the digital thread—that connects sustainability data across an organisation, enabling businesses to move beyond compliance and embed sustainability into product lifecycle management (PLM).We discuss the challenges companies face, from fragmented data to complex supply chains, and how automation can streamline processes like carbon accounting and lifecycle assessments. Klaus shares insights on regulatory pressures such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), highlighting how businesses must align their IT strategies with sustainability goals to stay ahead.We also cover:✅ Why sustainability reporting is overwhelming teams—and how to fix it✅ The role of AI, IoT, and blockchain in supply chain transparency✅ Why industries like steel and cement are progressing, while agriculture struggles✅ The importance of supplier collaboration in tracking sustainability dataKlaus argues that digitalisation is the missing link in supply chain sustainability. If companies want to make meaningful progress, they must digitise sustainability data, integrate it into their processes, and ensure seamless data flow across their value chains.

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Yin Chen, CEO and Chairman at Greenworks, a supplier of battery-powered outdoor power equipment (OPE) since 2003. With over 20 years at the forefront of home, yard, and do-it-yourself electric tools, Greenworks is redefining durability and eco-friendliness in the face of climate challenges, delivering high performance equipment focused on reducing carbon footprints.Ted and Yin discuss his background briefly, studying mechanical engineering at China's Donghua University, and business at Warwick University in the UK. He shares humble beginnings of Greenworks, recalling a meeting with one of their first clients placing a modified bike battery on the table, noting that it would be the centerpiece of all their applications. Fast forward, Greenworks now has more than 7,000 employees and manufacturing facilities in China, the U.S. and Vietnam, and offers everything from riding lawn mowers to snow removal tools and pressure washers – all powered by batteries. Yin shares his outlook on how Greenworks has shifted the narrative, and landscapers are now embracing battery power because it is in their best interest. Environmental benefits aside, Greenworks products improve workers' day-to-day well-being. As they engage with the cleaner battery-powered technology, landscape professionals can now focus more on their tasks without the negative side effects of inhaling toxic fumes.Yin also highlights Greenworks Optimus line of OPE, which was previously focused around the residential sector, but now focused on developing new products and comprehensive solutions for the commercial sector. The research and development, product testing, manufacturing, and customer service for the commercial equipment is being done at the Greenworks Commercial Center of Excellence in Morristown, Tennessee, ushering Greenworks Commercial into a cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable manufacturing future here in the US.

Why Eating Local Isn't a Climate Solution Among the most popular bits of advice for those seeking to reduce their carbon footprint is to “eat local.” But unfortunately, eating local is not a climate solution that packs much of a punch. When it comes to lessening food's climate impact, it's almost entirely about eating less meat and more plants — not where those plants and meat come from.

The story of how Bell's brewery reduced its electrical consumption 5% while growing production more than 3%. Special Guests: Kate Martini and Walker Modic.

Carbon footprints are a measure of how much we each contribute to the greenhouse gases that warm the Earth's atmosphere. The global average of carbon dioxide emissions is nearly 5 tonnes per person per year, although it can be triple that in certain countries. But one CrowdScience listener in Ghana is wondering about the bigger picture. After all, humans aren't the only species on this planet. So which other animal has the biggest carbon footprint? CrowdScience presenters Caroline Steel and Marnie Chesterton are on the case, examining and arguing over the animal that deserves the top spot for this title. Caroline, a vegan, points to the cow as the top contender, since the livestock sector produces 14.5% of total greenhouse gas emissions, and cows, whether as meat or dairy animals, are responsible for the majority of that. The team look at initiatives around the world to be more efficient with each animal out there. But maybe it's time to put another sector in the spotlight? Pets. We love our dogs and cats but do their meat-based diets win them a place on the podium? From most loved to most detested, we look at the role that key pests play in upsetting the carbon budget. Could a small beetle with a large appetite for greenery be an unusual winner, thanks to the trees these pests destroy over their lifetimes? Is the biggest offender a carbon footprint, hoofprint, pawprint, or clawprint?

The environmental impact of eating a meal at home is far less than dining out. And by controlling the ingredients the meal is often far healthier for you as well.   Cathy Katin-Grazzini explains the varying sizes of carbon footprints for different ingredients and how we consume them in her book Love the Foods That Love the Planet. The environmental impact and carbon footprint have been calculated for each recipe.   She joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.   Join Chuck and Dr. Will Bulsiewicz at Dr. Barnard's Bon Voyage Bash in Miami on March 7! — — SHOW LINKS — — SUPPORT PCRM Donate: https://www.pcrm.org/GT — — — Cathy Katin-Grazzini Cookbook: https://amzn.to/3AXvx1a IG: https://www.instagram.com/cathyskitchenprescription Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cathyskitchenprescription Website: https://www.cathyskitchenprescription.com — — EVENTS — — Dr. Bulsiewicz and Chuck in Miami Where: Dr. Barnard's Bon Voyage Bash Date: March 7, 2025 https://www.pcrm.org/events/bon-voyage-party-2025 — — — Free Athlete Nutrition E-Book https://www.pcrm.org/athlete — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — https://www.pcrm.org/examroomvip — — THIS IS US — — The Exam Room Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook X: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org X: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PCRM Jobs: https://www.pcrm.org/careers — — SUBSCRIBE & SHARE — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.

Chris Weld worked for years in emergency rooms, then ditched that career and bought an old farm in Massachusetts. He set up a distillery and started making prize-winning spirits. When cannabis was legalized, he jumped into that too — and the first few years were lucrative. But now? It turns out that growing, processing, and selling weed is more complicated than it looks. He gave us the grand tour.  (Part three of a four-part series.) SOURCES:Chris Bennett, operations manager at Berkshire Mountain Distillers.Luca Boldrini, head of cultivation at The Pass.Yasmin Hurd, director of the Addiction Institute at Mount Sinai.Chris Weld, founder and owner of Berkshire Mountain Distillers. RESOURCES:"As America's Marijuana Use Grows, So Do the Harms," by Megan Twohey, Danielle Ivory, and Carson Kessler (The New York Times, 2024)."Evaluation of Dispensaries' Cannabis Flowers for Accuracy of Labeling of Cannabinoids Content," by Mona M.
