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 #deregulation is #TFG’s swamp, challenged by environmental groups in the courts, #SelfRegulation by the #FreeMarket is #GenocideJoe’s mantra that escapes scrutiny: The current U.S. environmental certification system for manufactured goods is based on private third-party audits and self-regulation — just like the British building materials fire safety certificate system in the lead-up to the Grenfell fire. the deadliest building accidents in the 21st century.

Unions say Biden's climate bill ignores workers

The bill may incentivize electric vehicles but it leaves out worker protections.

#BusinessAsUsual #GreenConsumption: PM2.5 #pollution increased in 17% of the #disadvantaged areas studied. This is because #poorer Californias are more likely to live near #fossilfuel infrastructure, “contain 50% of California natural #gas #power plants,” and are more likely to live in high #traffic areas and are therefore exposed to pollution that comes from #tires.

EVs Are Clearing the Air in California, but Only for Rich Neighborhoods

More electric vehicles could actually worsen air pollution in some of the poorest areas in the state, a study found.
