How can digital versions of big companies cut their carbon footprint? – BBC News
Many companies responsible for our day-to-day essentials are committed to reducing their carbon footprints.
The company behind brands such as Dettol, Reckitt, is using new technology known as ‘digital twins’ to help reduce its climate impacting emissions.
The software mimics everything from shipping lanes to factory production ahead of deliveries worldwide to help show the carbon impact they will have, before a product even leaves for the store.

A top safety researcher at Anthropic has warned AI is advancing so quickly he believes there is a greater than 10% chance it “could kill all humans” within the next decade.
Evan Hubinger said the risk from the models which currently exist was “low” but he was “worried” the technology might develop and improve itself soon to the point where it posed an existential risk to humanity.
Jacob Coxon, an AI researcher who has just quit Anthropic and previously worked at OpenAI, has also said “neither company is acting responsibly”.

AI-powered smart glasses are rapidly moving from science fiction into everyday life.
Meta has already sold millions of pairs, with supporters claiming they could become the next major computing platform, helping people make calls, translate languages, identify objects and navigate the world hands-free.
Privacy campaigners warn they could enable covert surveillance and lawsuits have raised concerns about consent and data collection, and some venues have banned them altogether.
Some critics have labelled them “spy glasses” and “pervert glasses”.
So are smart glasses a new surveillance threat? Or are we in danger of demonising a technology with the potential to benefit millions?
Joining the discussion are AI ethicist Dr Stephanie Hare, Silkie Carlo from Big Brother Watch, and consumer tech expert Ben Hatton from CCS Insight.
We also hear from women concerned about the impact of Meta’s smart glasses in a BBC News report.
🎧 Watch now and decide for yourself: are AI smart glasses the future, or have they gone too far?

In certain parts of Nigeria, “rainmakers” or “rainpushers” are held in high regard.
People pay them to keep rain away from events, such as weddings, but can they really control the weather?

A new personalised vaccine given in combination with a drug has stopped skin cancer returning in patients during a trial, representing a potentially watershed moment in cancer treatment. Scientists used mRNA technology, which was used for some Covid-19 vaccines.
But that technology – and vaccines more generally – have become increasingly controversial in the United States since the Covid-19 pandemic. The Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, is a vaccine sceptic.
In August 2025 cancelled $500m (£376m) in funding for mRNA vaccine research. The move impacted 22 projects being led by major pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Moderna, for vaccines against bird flu and other viruses, according to Kennedy’s department.
We speak to Tom Whipple, host of the BBC’s Inside Science programme, about the science of this new vaccine. And we ask how funding cuts for vaccine research could impact health outcomes not just for Americans, but for the world.
0:00 How does the new mRNA skin cancer vaccine work?
2:56 How effective is the new cancer vaccine?
5:06 How do mRNA vaccines work?
6:51 How was mRNA technology developed?
10:26 How did Covid change mRNA vaccines?
12:01 Why is RFK Jr cutting mRNA funding?
15:19 Are mRNA vaccines safe?
18:48 Why is the FDA approving an mRNA flu vaccine?
21:00 What does the future of mRNA research look like?

A digital corporate twin sounds interesting, but it hinges on how much data they can collect on their operations and plug into their model. Still, a nice initiative.

Tesco's have the right idea: They sell 2 litres of bleach to refill 1 litre bottles of bleach. This is cheaper and more sustainable, for their bathroom and kitchen cleaners they sell packets that you dilute and then refill the kitchen/bathroom bottles, again, more sustainable and cheaper for the customer. Unfortunately, this video is about "green washing"!!!

lol – they will pay massive amounts to public relations organisations to tell us they are reducing their carbon footprint. Like being on the BBC showing amazing advances in reducing their carbon footprint. If it is more profitable to reduce carbon footprint, they will do it, but I doubt that will be.

The globalist think-tank "The Club of Rome" determined in the 1970's that the only way the people of the world would accept a world government would be if there was a global threat that humanity needed to unite against:
“The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself." – Club of Rome, The First Global Revolution
The Club of Rome’s members, including David Rockefeller, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, Ted Turner, Mikhail Gorbachev, and of course Al Gore, believe humanity requires “a common motivation, namely a common adversary” in order to realize world government.
A recent Club of Rome publication titled the "World Federalist Manifesto" states:
"A world government is the only solution to world problems, such as climate change and the global economic crisis. A world confederation that respects the sovereignty of world nations and that deals with the issues of international economy that cannot be dealt by one nation alone".
The same publication calls for a new Anglo-American alliance to supplant the role of the United Nations, a global police force, a single world currency… to save the planet, of course.
It would seem that humans need a common motivation, namely a common adversary, to organize and act together in the vacuum; such a motivation must be found to bring the divided nations together to face an outside enemy, either a real one or else one invented for the purpose.
New enemies therefore have to be identified.
New strategies imagined, new weapons devised.
The common enemy of humanity is man.

Business people are mostly greedy, selfish scum who have far too much wealth and power in societies.
Running society for the greedy and selfish business people is proving a massive failure on a global scale.
BBC is free market propaganda, not a credible news source within a democracy.
BBC belongs in 1930's Germany just as Murdoch's outlets do.

Dalai Lama ✍️🌿
I’m a refugee. I lost my country. But wherever we are, we are still human beings. When I smile at someone, they almost invariably smile back. Through the internet, television and radio we can be in touch with the rest of the world. The whole population has become our community and seven to eight billion human beings have become part of our family. We have to live together. We can’t escape to another planet. The moon looks beautiful in the sky, but we couldn’t live there.
