Hier soir à 23h il faisait encore plus de 30°C dans Paris. La mairie socialiste nous bassine depuis 10 ans avec sa politique de greenwashing censée préparer Paris au changement Paris. En réalité Ils ont bétonné la capitale en construisant des logements sociaux bouilloires à tout va, en créant des places ultra minérales et en densifiant encore plus la ville déjà la plus dense du monde. La carte parle d’elle même. C’est le résultat implacable de leur politique, #Paris #ChangementClimatique #Politique
Tata Steel has been reprimanded by the Advertising Code Committee for greenwashing, as the company is no longer allowed to claim that it will produce 'green' and 'clean' steel, given the lack of concrete plans and unrealistic timelines for sustainability. (translated)
The article by Julita Karaś-Gasparska discusses how the evolution of consumer expectations and the climate crisis have influenced corporate environmental responsibility, which has become a key element of business strategy, requiring deep organizational transformation and comprehensive implementation of sustainability principles.

Secondary forests do not replace primary ones when it comes to climate regulations. Natural-primary forests do it better. Therefore, instead of "planting forests" (which is generally typical greenwashing), we should protect the remnants of primary ones that we have not yet transformed. For us, this is, for example, (translated)
Salve signor sindaco, domanda molto semplice: il "rifugio fito-climatico" con pergolato e 4 alberi serve a compensare Viale Furio Camillo trasformato in pista d’atterraggio per lucertole? Il nome è bellissimo, niente da dire. "Rifugio fito-climatico" sembra una missione della NASA con fotosintesi incorporata. Taglio del nastro, comunicato, foto, sorrisi poi però esci dall’inaugurazione, giri l’angolo e trovi strade dove gli alberi veri, quelli adulti, quelli che facevano ombra davvero, sono spariti come in un numero di magia urbana. E allora viene un dubbio: stiamo facendo adattamento climatico o teatro botanico? Il caldo urbano non si combatte battezzando un pergolato con un nome da convegno internazionale. Si combatte salvando alberature mature, aumentando ombra reale, togliendo cemento inutile e impedendo che le strade diventino corridoi roventi. Se da una parte inauguriamo 4 alberi con la fanfara e dall’altra togliamo quelli che già proteggevano una strada intera, non è transizione ecologica, è greenwashing con la pergola. #TransizioneEcologica #Greenwashing #Urbanismo
Nuno Brito Jorge's article highlights the paradox of a generation that, despite being aware of the climate crisis, continues to contribute to its intensification, reflecting a collective failure in the management and prevention of natural disasters such as wildfires, and emphasizing the urgent need for effective actions against climate change instead of limiting itself to greenwashing and a lack of compliance with climate agreements.

The new EU regulation, which will come into effect on August 12, 2026, fundamentally changes the rules for food packaging by requiring companies to demonstrate compliance of their packaging with limits for PFAS chemicals and other standards, which may have a significant impact on the market and operational processes of manufacturers.

Companies will have to choose ecological slogans on packaging and in advertisements much more cautiously. The government has adopted a draft regulation aimed at curbing greenwashing and increasing the transparency of information provided to consumers. The changes will affect not only the labels related to impact. (translated)

Companies will not be able to use general terms such as ecological, green, or environmentally friendly, unless they can confirm it. (translated)
Con @CarloStagnaro avevamo definito il Superbonus come “la più grande operazione di greenwashing della storia d’Italia”. Ora la Corte dei Conti Ue conferma che lo è ma dell’Europa: “Il Superbonus è di gran lunga la più costosa e meno efficiente tra le misure per la riqualificazione energetica delle abitazioni”. (Naturalmente il bonus al 110% ha avuto il sostegno convinto e continuato di tutti i principali movimenti ambientalisti italiani, gli stessi che si oppongono al nucleare perché troppo costoso). https://t.co/D0yu5TCShH #Superbonus #Greenwashing #EnergieRinnovabili

Reinhard Schneider, šéf společnosti Werner & Mertz, varuje, že evropský recyklační sektor zaostává, protože velké korporace dávají přednost novému plastu před recyklovaným materiálem kvůli nižším nákladům na výrobu, což může podkopávat důvěru spotřebitelů a přispívat k greenwashingu. #Recycling #Kreislaufwirtschaft #Greenwashing
Ce 30 juin, l'inénarrable Monique Barbut, ministre de la Transition Écologique Vers Le Néant, organisait une grande réunion de concertation sur la consigne des bouteilles plastique. Les élus locaux ont claqué la porte en dénonçant "une parodie de concertation" et du pur greenwashing. Cette mesure consiste à vous faire rapporter vos bouteilles d'eau au supermarché & vous coûtera au passage +20% sur votre taxe d'ordures ménagères soit environ +30€/an pour remplacer un système de bac jaune qui fonctionne déjà. En fait de politique environnementale, l'État français n'a qu'une politique de prélèvements déguisée en écologie. #Ecologie #Greenwashing #TransitionEcologique
Des élus locaux ont quitté une réunion au ministère de la Transition écologique pour protester contre le projet gouvernemental de consigne plastique, qu'ils jugent être une parodie de concertation et une forme de greenwashing, car il ne prévoit que le recyclage des bouteilles au lieu de leur réemploi. #TransitionEcologique #Recyclage #Greenwashing

Țările Uniunii Europene au convenit să includă companiile petroliere în fondurile de investiții „verzi”, chiar dacă acestea continuă să dezvolte proiecte de combustibili fosili, ceea ce suscită îngrijorări în legătură cu riscul de „greenwashing” și cu efectele asupra credibilității investițiilor sustenabile. #fondurideinvestițiiVerzi #greenwashing #companiipetroliere
Uniunea Europeană pregătește o schimbare controversată prin care investițiile în noi exploatări de petrol și gaze ar putea fi clasificate ca „verzi”, facilitând astfel includerea marilor companii petroliere în fondurile de investiții sustenabile, o mișcare criticată de organizațiile de mediu pentru riscul de „greenwashing” și dezinformare a investitorilor. #UniuneaEuropeana #investiții #greenwashing
