📎 Meet my new profile icon: Clippy the Paperclip! 🖇️✨

You might recognize this little guy from the ‘90s, but Clippy’s back—and this time, he’s a symbol of resistance! 🛠️💙 Inspired by Louis Rossmann, Clippy has become the mascot of a growing digital rebellion against Big Tech’s planned obsolescence, surveillance, and the "shitification" of everything we love. He’s here to remind us that tech should serve people, not the other way around.

I personalized mine with a blue beret. That’s my little wink to Blue Beanie Day—and web accessibility—to make the internet work for everyone. (Because yes, even the revolution needs to be inclusive! 😉)

P.S. If anyone knows how to add alt text to profile pics, let me know—I’d love to have an image description in my profile!

Retailers and shoppers navigate the green maze ♻️🛒 in online shopping! Experts reveal how to spot legit eco certifications, avoid greenwashing, and shop smarter for the planet 🌍💡. Sustainability is complex, but transparency from brands & third-party verifications help guide the way.

How to make climate-friendly choices when shopping online

There's clearly an appetite for shopping sustainably online. But it can be overwhelming to figure out how to find the certifications and companies that are actually making a difference. Certification experts say brands that are serious about sustainability should be transparent, meet third-party standards and quantify their environmental impact. Large e-commerce websites may highlight the certifications with special icons, hyperlinks to certification programs or written descriptions. Retail websites such as Amazon, Walmart and Target have set emissions benchmarks and other climate-related targets for their suppliers and list their own companywide sustainability goals.

In der konkreten Kaufentscheidung fehlt vielen Konsument*innen das Wissen, was die nachhaltigere Option ist. Hier setzte der Green Cosumption Assistant an, ein grüner Einkaufsbegleiter. Wie er funktioniert und gewirkt hat, erklärt Dr. Maike Gossen von der @tuberlin in unserem Blog. https://www.oeko.de/blog/hier-mal-nach-gruen/

Hier mal nach grün

Kann die Künstliche Intelligenz für nachhaltigeren Konsum genutzt werden? Ob und wie das gehen könnte, erklärt Maike Gossen, die an der Technischen Universität (TU) Berlin das Forschungsprojekt Green Consumption Assistant (GCA) koordinierte. Ziel war es, Verbraucher*innen online bei nachhaltigeren Konsumentscheidungen zu unterstützen. Der 'grüne' Einkaufsbegleiter, den die TU gemeinsam mit der Berliner Hochschule für Technik und der grünen Suchmaschine Ecosia entwickelt hat, war nicht allein auf Konsumentscheidungen ausgerichtet, sondern diente der Information und Orientierung von Verbraucher*innen.

If the USA wanted me to buy their products, then they should sell them in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). So far, it seems that only Chinese companies have done this for the Malaysian market. There are even many flagship phones priced at RM1000++ instead of iPhones priced at RM5000++. What Chinese companies offer us is better because of competitive specifications as well as competitive prices, and more control due to the Android OS, rather than iOS by default, which I don't trust Apple to handle my data. Chinese companies have addressed the issues of affordability and accessibility to technology for Malaysians, while the USA only sells products that we use to show off or appear superior to others. Is the USA trying to force us to buy their products? This seems like modern authoritarianism to me. #BuyLocal #TechForAll #MYRPricing #AndroidOverIOS #ConsumerPower #NoForcedUSD #ModernAuthoritarianism

** Costco , embracing Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI), saw 7.7M more visits in the last 4 weeks. Meanwhile Target , pushing Uniformity, Inequity, & Exclusion, lost 5M visits. America thrives on DEI. Keep making a difference! #DEIMatters #ConsumerPower** #boycottTarget hold into your wallet
