Everyone needs to know that these fires were made possible by global heating, which is caused by the fossil fuel industry, which has lied and blocked action for half a century. And that this will all get much, much, much worse until we end the fossil fuel industry

I support accurate claims and fact-based communication in marketing, but could it also be true that companies who are really invested in sustainability should stop their huge spending on marketing campaigns? Even the Patagonia thing of ‘don’t buy this jacket’… What is the actual point?

If you happen to be in Copenhagen next week, I will be presenting best practices for working with #greenclaims. Denmark has some of the most rigorous guidelines on environmental claims in Europe (maybe the world?). My motto: If you can get it right in #Denmark, you’ll get it right everywhere.

You wanted starter packs to be searchable. Our engineers are busy keeping us online, so in the meantime, an independent developer built a new searchable library of starter packs. This is the beauty of building in the open 🦋

Yes to all this. No matter where we’re living, we can still resist. And support those who are more vulnerable.

Thanks for sharing, Annette. I’m actually presenting on this topic to the American Chamber of Commerce in Denmark next month. Denmark and France have taken an early lead in the EU Green Claims Directive, it will be interesting to see what other countries follow suit.
