Good Idea: Ban greenwashing and inform consumers about product durability

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20230918IPR05412/eu-to-ban-greenwashing-and-improve-consumer-information-on-product-durability

The EU has agreed to ban misleading advertisements and improve consumer product information. The rules target misleading marketing practices like false environmental claims, premature obsolescence, and fake sustainability labels. The agreement also aims to make product guarantees more visible and introduce a label for products with extended warranties. The final approval is pending, with a vote expected in November, and member states will have 24 months to adopt the new rules once they come into force.

If you let the government go on reinforcing the institutions that prevent other people from traveling freely, you make it virtually inevitable that eventually, when you have to flee from a hurricane, forest fire, economic crisis, or war, you will find those same agencies cutting off your escape route.

Refugees will continue to cross borders—legally or not—as long as they are driven by desperate need. The solution is not to build more walls, but to address the root causes of the escalating disparities in wealth and power that are destroying communities around the world.

Abolish borders. Solidarity forever. 🏴
