“Green washing” von Energieerzeugung … “Green washing” of energy

Stella, oh, Stella

Mit einem neuen Regelwerk möchte die Europäische Union Standards für nachhaltiges Wirtschaften festlegen. Doch wenn es nach der EU-Kommission geht, sollen in der so genannten „Taxonomie“ auch Erdgas und Atomkraft als nachhaltige Formen der Energieerzeugung eingestuft werden! Das wäre ein Greenwashing-GAU, denn dieser Etikettenschwindel würde milliardenschwere Fehlinvestitionen in veraltete Technologien lenken. Milliarden, die wir dringend für den Aufbau eines erneuerbaren Energiesystems brauchen.

Doch noch kann das EU-Parlament sein Veto einlegen! Dabei kommt es insbesondere auf die Stimmen der konservativen EVP-Fraktion (in Deutschland: CDU/CSU) und der Liberalen (FDP und Freie Wähler) an. Machen Sie mit und schreiben Sie jetzt den Europaabgeordneten dieser Fraktionen aus Ihrem Bundesland, damit Erdgas und Atomkraft keinen grünen Anstrich bekommen.

Die Kommission hat das „Ökolabel“ für Gas und Atomkraft als „delegierten Rechtsakt“ auf den Weg gebracht. In diesem Verfahren können sowohl der Ministerrat als auch das EU-Parlament ein Veto einlegen. Während vom Rat in dieser Sache nichts…

Self-love

Kaushal Kishore

I had always been driven by self
engulfed by own self
as I liked and loved myself
I used to believe
my own values and conduct
as the best in the world…

I had safely assumed 
that I didn’t snore,
but others pointed me out
that I did snore
and their own sleep pattern
got disturbed,
I took corrective measures
without any shame…

I was confident
the way I used to carry myself
was perfect,
but my well-wishers pointed out
that I tilt to the left,
I mended my ways
without any guilt…

Such feedbacks
might have pleased me or not
at that very moment
but have certainly added values
to my personality…

I wonder
whether I would have been
what I’m today
had I ignored or labelled them
as futile or hostile
in the first place…

I still do love myself,
rather more intensely,
but now I also love…

What’s Up With This Preventable Water Disease? The Brockovich Report

Water management problems lead to Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks.

  • About 65 percent of cases are due to process failures, like not having a Legionella water management program.
  • About 1 in 2 (52 percent) are due to human error, such as a hot tub filter not being cleaned or replaced as recommended by the manufacturer.
  • About 1 in 3 are due to equipment, such as a disinfection system, not working.
  • About 1 in 3 are due to changes in water quality from reasons external to the building itself, like nearby construction.
