Russian opposition leader #Navalny reportedly died today in jail.

Ever a contentious figure, #Navalny personified the courage to stand up to #Putin, representing a different choice in Russian politics.

Global Voices covered his continued resistance to Vladimir Putin’s regime, and in 2010 we were the 1st English-language outlet to publish an interview with him: https://globalvoices.org/2010/10/27/russia-blogger-alexey-navalny-on-fighting-regime/ #Russia

EU bans misleading environmental claims that rely on offsetting https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/17/eu-bans-misleading-environmental-claims-that-rely-on-offsetting Terms such as “climate neutral” or “climate positive” that rely on offsetting will be banned from the EU by 2026 as part of a crackdown on misleading environmental claims. On Wednesday, members of the European parliament [MEPs] voted to outlaw the use of terms such as “environmentally friendly”, “natural”, “biodegradable”, “climate neutral” or “eco” without evidence, while introducing a total ban on using carbon offsetting schemes to substantiate the claims. #greenwashing
