Housemaids were hurrying homewards with their purchases for various Gallic breakfasts, and the long sticks of bread, a yard or two in length, carried under their arms, made an odd impression upon me.

  • I agree! They talk about it in their newsletter. I didn’t say they were Meta free, but not advertising there. I still consider this advertising, though. Maybe, then, they just stopped paid ads.


    Update:

    So, yes they clarify it in their latest newsletter on this topic.

    Vi er fremdeles tilstede organisk (ikke betalt) i Meta’s univers gjennom Instagram og Facebook.

    I guess that’s a difficult choice to make for a company.

    I think the way they word it sounds like they are properly ditching Facebook, but they clarify it in the text. Sneaky, but I am willing to forgive as they are vocal about other social topics and at least try to do something against Meta (and later Google).

    BTW! Completely forgot to mention they are a cooperative :).


  • Thank you for the list :)

    I guess there is something between fast fashion and premium that could be sustainable.

    Now I think about it, maybe it is worth defining premium. I think the brands I posted are premium, but they are not outrages (if you consider the life time and production region) like designer brands (or whatever those are called). An idea would be to add PR+ for the latter.







  • If someone is really invested with the environment and climate, they should at the least have some awareness of the consequences of meat consumption. In that case, why do others have to keep holding their hand? The world wide web is full of delicious vegan/vegetarian recipes. Why does individual responsibility/initiative stop when one is convinced that reducing a luxury good is the best option?

    And there are so many options to improve. Flexitarian, pescaterian, vegetarian, plant-based or vegan. I believe it helps to not let perfect be the enemy of good. It might also depend a bit on what convictions you want to change. If climate and/or health, it might give a bit more leniency; if animal wellfare it is likely to be a strict regime.

    (keep in mind, the above is about those who say to care for the environement/climate)
