Sustainability Journo Requests

In writing news, this will be a big week for pitching, so please see media opps below: I’m looking for remote, nature-immersive lodges where the landscape is the amenity (really honing in on Australia, Africa, the Nordics, and Patagonia). Strong design and sustainability are a huge plus.

Blue Finance Project Staff - Anonymous Failed Funding Case Studies

The usual explanation for a failed blue finance project is a lack of capital. What I want to know is why it couldn’t raise more money. I’ve said before that we need to know more about the failures in ocean finance. If I were building the record, it would be a catalog of failed case studies, anonymized and easy to look through by instrument and by geography. The people who worked on each project would contribute to it. What gets recorded is the timeline, the runway, the specifics of the project and the reason it didn’t work. Then I’d feed all of it into AI to see whether there’s a pattern. There’s so much to learn from failed deals and failed projects. Two things make it hard. The first is stigma. People don’t want to talk about failure, and when it happens, they want to turn the page. Sitting down to say “this is what happened and this is why it failed” takes another layer of self-awareness. The second is being honest about the cause. Sometimes it’s obvious. Such as, we didn’t have enough customers. But often it isn’t and you can blame a gazillion things, none of which may be the real reason. Failures in ocean finance also remind me of something I learned from Prof. Leith Sharp when I studied Sustainability Leadership at Harvard University. She calls it the "Squiggle" - the messy, non-linear part between the start of a project and the clean story we tell about it afterwards. Projects rarely fail in one neat moment. They change direction, hit constraints, lose momentum, adapt and sometimes stop. If we only record the beginning and the outcome, we lose the part that may teach us the most. Having the big picture would be a very useful step. If you’ve worked on a project that didn’t make it and you’d be willing to record it anonymously, I’d like to hear from you.

Berlin Travel Experts - Sustainability & Tech-for-Good Features

Three years after my last trip, I've decided to once again take an eight-hour train ride from Amsterdam to return to one of my favourite cities...Berlin. #journorequest: I'll be there in early November and will be looking for several travel/sustainability/tech-for-good stories during my trip there. Feature pitches work best for me rather than news or profile pieces. Look at my portfolio + DM me a story idea. Whilst there I'm also running my How to Secure Media Coverage half-day workshop, holding it once again at my talented pals Kerstin Bock's and Carolin Lessoued's Openers office. If you want insider knowledge on how to build stronger relationships with journalists and create pitches that hacks are more likely to say yes to, do come along on November 5. (There's also sessions coming up in Brussels, Amsterdam, Cheltenham, Zoom and London.) I'm also looking for a sublet or petsit in/around Neukolln, where I first stayed in 2015 on my first nomadic stint abroad (picture of me below standing next to the Berlin Wall on said trip).

Women in STEM - Onstage Representation in Water Tech

What will it take to see more women at the table - and on the stage - when we talk about water and other technical issues? I had the opportunity to attend the Rice WaTER Institute Water Nexus Conference in Houston today. Thank you to James Rees and everyone involved in bringing together researchers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and innovators to address some of the most pressing challenges facing our water future. I left with a lot to think about. It also left me with an observation. Of the 24 speakers, only 6 were women - 25%. As a female scientist, representation matters to me. When I began my career, women represented only a small share of chemistry graduates. Today, women make up more than half of chemistry bachelor's degree recipients. That is real progress. But getting more women into STEM is only part of the equation. Are we also getting women into the rooms where technical issues are discussed, decisions are made, and the future is shaped? I spoke with Lauren M Barnum, a panelist and environmental scientist like me, and shared my observation about the conference, along with my personal experience of encountering relatively few women in scientific leadership during my career. Lauren noted that things are getting better in STEM - and I agree. Another female colleague pointed out that the number of women in sustainability is increasing, which is encouraging. But I keep coming back to a question that is also at the heart of my upcoming book, Choosing Us: 45 Years of Insight on Smart Decisions That Drive Environmental Stewardship. What will it take to get more women into scientific leadership and decision-making roles? Women are deeply engaged in environmental issues. Yet we remain underrepresented in many of the technical conversations and leadership roles that shape decisions about our environment. The water challenges discussed at this conference - scarcity, infrastructure, treatment, reuse, the energy-water nexus, emerging technologies, and resilience - will affect all of us. We need the best minds and the broadest range of perspectives contributing to those conversations. This isn't about taking a place away from anyone. It's about making sure the people who have the knowledge, experience, and perspectives to contribute are actually being invited to the conversation. For me, Choosing Us is ultimately about the decisions we make and who gets to make them. So my burning question remains: What will it take to see more women speaking on technical topics like water, and more women in scientific leadership and decision-making roles? I'd genuinely like to hear from women and men in STEM, water, sustainability, academia, industry, and leadership: What do you think needs to change? #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience #WomenInLeadership #Water #Sustainability #EnvironmentalScience #STEMLeadership #ChoosingUs

Groningen Data Center Operators & Water Managers - Water-Smart Growth

🌍 GRONINGEN 2030–2040: THE AI BOOM vs. THE FRESHWATER CLOCK What happens when a region becomes increasingly important for AI, data centers, renewable energy, hydrogen and industry — while freshwater becomes a more strategic resource? I started looking at this question from a simple perspective: Follow the water. Where does it come from? Who uses it? How much could large digital infrastructure require? What happens during drought? And can Groningen grow digitally without increasing pressure on freshwater? I turned the investigation into a 13-poster visual atlas covering: 🔹 Groningen’s emerging digital infrastructure 🔹 Eemshaven, Winschoten and Westpoort 🔹 Industrial water and North Water 🔹 Data-center cooling technologies 🔹 Illustrative water demand for a 100 MW IT campus 🔹 Drought and groundwater pressure 🔹 Industry, hydrogen, agriculture, nature and households 🔹 Circular water opportunities 🔹 Three possible Groningen futures toward 2040 🔹 A proposed Groningen Water Standard 🔹 Sources, methodology and limitations One important distinction emerged: The question isn’t simply “Do data centers use water?” The better question is: What water source + what cooling technology + what location + what season + what competing demand? That changes the discussion completely. Some numbers in the investigation are verified public data. Others are clearly identified as engineering calculations, scenarios or proposals — not forecasts or claims about individual facilities. My proposal is simple: Don’t stop digital growth. Make digital growth water-smart. That means prioritising industrial/reclaimed water where appropriate, efficient cooling, drought resilience, groundwater protection, water transparency, heat recovery and genuine circular-water systems. The future of Groningen doesn’t have to be digital growth OR environmental responsibility. It can be both. What would you add to the Groningen Water Standard? 👇 I would especially like to hear perspectives from people working in data centers, water management, energy, hydrogen, agriculture, nature, infrastructure and local planning. #Groningen #DataCenters #AI #WaterSecurity #Freshwater #Sustainability #Energy #Eemshaven #Hydrogen #CircularEconomy #Netherlands #DigitalInfrastructure

I have another source request for Forbes. Urban Luxury Hotels with Green Roofs or Living Walls in Europe or in the United States I’m working on a story re green roofs and living walls in urban hotels. I’m looking to compare policies in Europe and U.S., but I also want to feature hotel examples. It can be both old or newly installed! I’m looking for hotels who can answer the following questions: Why did the hotel decide to invest in a living wall or green roof, and what was the main goal? Guest experience, sustainability, building performance, planning requirements, brand differentiation or something else? What measurable benefits have they seen since installation, whether in energy use, cooling, stormwater management, biodiversity, guest feedback, or commercial performance? What have they learned about the cost and maintenance of the installation? Would they make the same investment again today? Is there any plans in the future or expand the area or refresh? Please also include a few photos that highlight the green roofs/living walls? I’d love to have them by next Wednesday (Sep 16). Email: [email redacted]

Indian Beauty Brands - Sustainability Mechanisms & Verifiable Claims

Calling for story inputs - Indian beauty and personal care brands for the upcoming French Press Global issue. I'm working on a piece about sustainability in Indian beauty, and I'm looking for brands doing it through a specific, working mechanism rather than a label. What I'm interested in: 1. Take-back and refill systems, including how many empties actually come back 2. Third-party certification: B Corp, WFTO fair trade, COSMOS/Ecocert/BDIH, FSC- with scope and certificate details 3. Packaging innovation, recycled content, mono-material or genuinely compostable formats 4. Supply chain work: fair-traded inputs, producer companies, direct farm or artisan sourcing 5. Upcycled or waste-derived ingredients 6. EPR compliance and what the brand is doing beyond the statutory minimum One request: please send documentation alongside the claim. A certificate number, a registry link, an audited figure, a stated baseline and methodology. The story is built around what a reader can independently verify, so unsupported numbers won't make it in and that's the point of the piece, not a hurdle I'm putting up. Brands of any size welcome. Small and unfunded is completely fine; a working mechanism matters more than scale. Drop a comment or write to me at [email redacted] . Inputs by 10th September.

Bartenders & Bar Managers - Batch Cocktails, Craft & Guest Experience

STRAIGHT-UP | The Cocktail Paradox Is every bar trying to become a “Best Bar” these days? The latest edition of STRAIGHT-UP, my monthly column in WSCI Magazine, looks at how cocktail culture is evolving—and at what we might be losing along the way. Three observations from the column stayed with me: The “Best Bars” race: In larger metros, most bars are either vying for a spot on a specific “Best Bars” list or already flaunting one, sometimes making spaces and experiences feel like replicas of one another. The Mojito anecdote: A friend who once persistently asked for a little more rum in her Mojito because it never felt potent enough now happily drinks pre-batched cocktails. And then there is “simple syrup”. An industry pioneer once confessed: “I miss the joy of seeing a bartender make me a fresh cocktail from scratch — the muddling of mint, cutting a garnish to perfection and squeezing a fresh lime to add that touch of sourness to the drink.” She also detested the phrase “simple syrup.” Which made me wonder: what would she say about “saline solution” today? This isn't a rant against technology or innovation. In fact, the column acknowledges the value of consistency, sustainability and efficiency. It is simply a question about what we do with the time technology gives back—and whether we use it to create a better guest experience. Because: “What makes a cocktail memorable may have very little to do with how complicated it is.” STRAIGHT-UP appears every month in WSCI Magazine. I'd love to hear from those working in hospitality, drinks and beyond: What makes an experience memorable today—the product, the craft, or the human connection around it? #StraightUp #WSCIMagazine #DrinksAndDestinations #Hospitality #BarCulture #CocktailCulture #Bartending #DrinksIndustry #GuestExperience #Rojitatiwari #CraftAndInnovation

UK Journalists - Vape Battery Disposal & Recycling

I was wondering if my network might be able to help with something we’re working on. We’re working with a client looking into the environmental impact of vapes, particularly what happens to them and their batteries once they’ve been used. We’ve just surveyed 1,000 people across the UK to understand how people dispose of their vapes, what they think about recycling them, and whether they see vape waste as an issue. Some of the findings raise a bigger question: are people actually being given enough information and opportunity to dispose of these devices properly? So, we’re now digging a little deeper into the story and would really like to hear from people who see this issue first-hand, whether you’re a journalist, work in local government, or work in waste management or recycling. Journalists: Are you covering waste, recycling, sustainability, consumer behaviour, batteries or the environmental impact of vaping? We’d be very happy to share our data and chat about the story. If there’s an angle you think we’re missing, we’d be really interested to hear it. Councillors and council teams: What are you seeing in your area? Is it easy for residents to know where a used vape should go? Are vapes still turning up in household bins or recycling? We can share our data on what people believe and would be interested to see whether that matches what you’re seeing locally. Waste and recycling professionals: What do you think people misunderstand about disposing of vapes and their batteries? And what are you seeing on the ground? We’re building this into a wider story and would love to include local examples, expert perspectives, useful stats or experiences from the people dealing with this day to day. If you’ve got something to add, even if it’s a completely different take, I’d love to hear from you. Drop a comment below or send me a DM. #VapeWaste #Recycling #Sustainability #WasteManagement

Clinical Research Sites - Delayed Payments Impacting Operations

Clinical research sites are expected to enroll quickly, enter clean data, respond to queries, retain staff, support patients, and keep studies moving. But what happens when they are not paid for months, or even years? I once waited more than 2½ years for payment on a study where we randomized over 80 patients. The most shocking part? Once we said we could no longer continue seeing patients without payment, money showed up within about a week. That experience changed how I look at site payments, site sustainability, and the idea of “partnership” in clinical research. In this newsletter, I’m talking about why delayed payments are more than a finance problem, what sites need to do differently, and why sponsors and CROs should be tracking payment performance just as closely as enrollment and data quality. And I really want to hear from the site community: What is the longest you have ever waited to get paid, and what finally got the payment released? #ClinicalResearch #ClinicalTrials #SitePayments #ClinicalOperations #ClinOps #ResearchSites #ClinicalResearchSites #SiteManagement #ClinicalTrialFinance

Event Innovators & Founders - Disruptive Delivery Tech & Models

I’m on the hunt! And it’s not for crabs. 🦀 I want to know what’s out there - including the things that aren’t “out there” yet. I’m looking to speak to people working in or around the events industry who are developing products, services, infrastructure or operating models that could materially change how events are delivered (with a bonus if they can reduce their environmental impact). It could be something in market already, in R&D, at pilot stage, or still an idea on a piece of paper. I’m particularly interested in things that rethink how the industry operates, rather than simply offering a more sustainable version of an existing product. If this is you, please DM me/drop a comment. Or, if there’s a person, business or organisation you think I should know about, tag them below or send them my way. - Net is cast globally - must be event industry, industry adjacent, or directly transferable into events. What I’m not looking for: - consultants - events industry sustainability groups and networks - swag/giveaways products/services (unless you blow my mind 🤯) If someone is trying or ideating aroundsomething genuinely different, I want to hear about it!

LEED APs & Sustainability Professionals - LEED v5 Case Studies

Wanted: LEED v5 case studies. With LEED v5 mandatory registration coming July 1, 2027, I know lots of LEED APs and sustainability professionals in various roles who are curious to learn more and get ready. But actual certified projects are still rare. If you've been part of a certified LEED v5 project (or will be soon), I'd love to connect with you! I'm looking for real projects to feature in an ongoing webinar series reaching thousands of sustainability professionals who want to understand what v5 actually looks like in practice, not just in the credit language. Whether you BD+C, ID+C, or O+M, I and thousands of others would love to hear about it. I know -- your project is unique. You're under an NDA. You've already changed firms since you worked on it. Maybe your project isn't even certified -- yet. Maybe it never will be (there's a great story there). Maybe the interesting lessons learned are a little hard to share, or maybe (this is very common), you just did the work and don't even realize how valuable your story is! So. Many. Reasons. to not share your story. I get it — and I still want to hear from you anyway! Like many of you, I'm a hands-on learner. I don't learn from reading the Reference Guide. I learn from from real stories, from real people. Never underestimate the power of the hidden nugget of knowledge that you've already unconsciously incorporated into your mental model. Onward -- we can caveat, anonymize, and get permission to share in a safe space. Help us all learn together by sharing your story, however big or small. There's something in it for you -- case studies are great marketing for you and your organization, but that's not all. They matter. Sharing best practices, one lesson learned at a time, is something we can all do to help scale our individual work and green up the entire built environment. Please DM me if you *might* have something to talk about. On behalf of my network of 5,000+ professionals -- thanks in advance for your help! #LEEDv5 #LEED #GreenBuilding #SustainableDesign #CaseStudy #BuildingSustainability

HR & People Leaders in Baltics 500+ Orgs - Burnout Risk & Attrition

Would you be interested in sharing how your organization is handling the burnout risk of their talents? Within the framework of my interest in normalizing talk about burnout and minimizing the impact, but also raising awareness that there is a way of recovering, I'm launching a research project: Burnout Attrition, 2026 — Sustaining Humanity at the Speed of Technological Acceleration. It's a regional study looking at how organizations with 500+ employees across the Baltics assess and manage burnout risk — and what actually happens when people leave because of it. I'm inviting two groups to take part: 📋 HR & People leaders — share how your organization measures, tracks, and manages burnout risk and attrition. I'm reaching out directly, but if I haven't found you yet, please reach out to me — I'd love to include you. Organizations can choose to stay anonymous or be named. 💬 Employees — I want to hear your honest take: is your organization's narrative that burnout real, or an excuse for laziness? Is it understood as a genuine mental and physical health issue that quietly takes your best people? And how is the risk of burnout — and the departures it causes — actually managed where you work? If you've burned out yourself, I'd especially welcome your perspective. The survey is anonymous. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dgw9u-A7 Results will be published this autumn on LinkedIn and at cebere.com. Leave your email if you'd like them sent directly to you. #BurnoutAttrition #HR #TalentSustainability #Baltics

Sustainability & Nonprofit Executives - Conscious Leadership Podcast

What do these stir up in you? -Lived experience based knowledge of the world and how it operates ( especially nature and the human experience). -Mental focus and the ability to analyze, discern the most important aspects – knowing what to use and what to discard and move past -Knowing when to follow the rules (and knowing when the rules no longer apply). -Mediating and refereeing between competing and conflicting demands, emotions and reason -Osscilating between commercial interest, broader social interest and future losses and gains -A systems mindset, integrative thinking, inclusive behaviors and a strong moral compass and sense of justice -A strange and sometimes contradictory sense of service and commitment to welfare and the ability to disassociate from impulse, delay action and immediate gratification in order the achieve the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people -The ability to exercise judgment, influence and forge collaboration in the absence of perfect data...getting teams and organizations committed to meaningful action and doing the right thing. If any of these sound familiar or resonate, then the chances are you’re a sustainability or non profit executive, a social impact / CSR leader and / or a social entrepreneur. It might also surprise you to know that these qualities and behaviors are also regarded as the core foundational principles of wisdom. (I don’t think it’s any coincidence that those drawn to the former career paths have spent their lives in pursuit). If any of this sounds, feels, smells, and walks like you, then I’d love to invite you to be a guest on #Itshoudntbethishard - the video podcast that dives deep into the messy, meaningful work of responsible business and conscious leadership. Our guests often share their own insights and experiences about power, profit, fear, failure, purpose, and the many barriers and obstacles that often frustrate conscious leadership, sustainability and more equitable progress.

CPG Reformulation Experts & Food Scientists - Metabolic Matrix Scale

This week I am looking at reformulation of foods. So #reformation for health and sustainability and the drivers of these. I am also keen to look at this idea of a #metabolicmatrix, which is part of this study - abstract excerpt below - and whether it can be apploed at scale. Drop me a line if it is your thing, please. Ultraprocessed food is established as a metabolic disruptor acting to increase adiposity, reduce mitochondrial efficiency, drive insulin resistance, alter growth, and contribute to human morbidity and mortality. Consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies are beginning to understand the detrimental impact of the food they market, and have employed substitution strategies to reduce salt, sugar, and fat. However, the harms of ultraprocessed foods are far more complex than any single component, and are not ameliorated by such simple substitutions. Over the past 2 years, the authors have worked with the Kuwaiti Danish Dairy Company (KDD) to conduct a comprehensive scientific evaluation of their entire commercial food and beverage portfolio. Assay of the macronutrients, micronutrients, additives, and toxins contained in each of their products was undertaken to determine the precise nature of each product's ingredients as well as the health impacts of processing. The authors formed a Scientific Advisory Team (SAT) and developed a tiered "Metabolic Matrix" founded in three science-based principles: (1) protect the liver, (2) feed the gut, and (3) support the brain. The Metabolic Matrix categorizes each product and provides the criteria, metrics, and recommendations for improvement or reformulation. https://lnkd.in/eVqZ9DdN Sarah Blanchard Ali Morpeth The Consumer Goods Forum Rob Kidd Ana Maksimovic Chris Hilson Anna Taylor-Elphick Anne Marie Taylor

I’ll be in Costa Rica for a women’s ayahuasca retreat in late November through early December, which I’m so excited about. Psychedelics and plant medicine have been shown to help people get through their grief, so I’m attending not only to research articles I’m working on, but also to work on my own healing. Because I get more hotel invites in Costa Rica than in nearly every other destination in the world, I wanted to put the word out early. I’ll be at the ayahuasca retreat for six nights, but I’m open to checking out another hotel for two nights before or after. I’m especially interested in hotels that have recently opened or been renovated and that emphasize sustainability, accessibility, or longevity. I’m seeking hotels with a strong focus on sustainability, accessibility, or longevity If you’d like to pitch your hotel, here are the details: To pitch: Respond to this email and update the subject heading Subject line: Costa Rica + INSERT YOUR HOTEL’S NAME Pitch by: Tuesday, July 14 EOD

EV Battery Recycling Experts - Recycling Realities & Circular Economy

🎙️ Looking for EV battery recycling experts for the Discover EV Podcast When I first trained as a journalist, we were working with film cameras, lightboxes and printed magazines. Suffice to say, the publishing world has changed dramatically since then. As audiences have shifted online and younger generations consume content in entirely different ways, I've had to learn a whole new set of skills. Some I've enjoyed more than others. But one thing I've genuinely fallen in love with is podcasting. Why? Because at its heart, it's old-school journalism. It's about having conversations with interesting people, asking questions, exploring ideas and helping audiences better understand complex topics. That's exactly why I've enjoyed every episode of the Discover EV Podcast, and why we're now well into Series 3. Right now, I'm looking for guests working in EV battery recycling and second-life battery applications. Battery recycling remains one of the most misunderstood topics in the electric vehicle industry, often generating headlines that create more confusion than clarity. I'd love to speak with industry experts who can explain the realities, challenges and opportunities surrounding battery recycling and the circular economy. If that sounds like you, or if you know someone who would make a great guest, please get in touch. 📧 [email redacted] And if your company has an interesting story to tell within the EV, mobility or sustainable transport sectors, I'd be delighted to hear from you too. You can listen to the last episode and previous episodes here: 🎧 Listen now and join the conversation...

Nonprofit Tech Leaders - Intentional AI Adoption In Social Sector

Season 2 of UnTangled is officially a wrap. Seventeen episodes. Seventeen guests building, experimenting, and thinking hard about AI in the social sector. And one word I kept landing on by the end: intentional. Not ethical (too paralyzing). Not careful (too passive). Intentional. You have a stance. Your AI decisions reflect your values, your community, your mission. You are doing this on purpose. A few things I am taking away from this season: ✅ The purpose-built ecosystem for nonprofits is real and it is growing. Change Agent, Crescendo, Beacon, these are tools built by people who share our values and designed around our actual needs. Stop defaulting to big tech out of habit. Seek out the tools built by and for our sector. ✅ The gender gap in AI is a sector risk, not a workforce statistic. If the people doing the bulk of the work in this sector are not shaping how these tools evolve, we will spend the next decade cleaning up someone else's design decisions. We have been here before. ✅ The boring use cases are an amazing place to start. First drafts, meeting summaries, donor thank you letters. Time saved is not a luxury. It is sustainability. ✅ Non-coders are building real things. The distance between mission expertise and the ability to act on it is closing. That matters. UnTangled is taking a summer break but I will be posting on some of the bigger threads from this season. And Season 3 kicks off after Labor Day. If you know someone doing interesting work at the intersection of digital and AI in the social sector, I want to hear about them. DM me or drop me a line at [email redacted]. Always looking for great guests. And if this season got you thinking about what intentional AI adoption could look like at your org, let's talk. https://lnkd.in/gEJzb5F4. That is what Firefly is here for. Want to go back and watch episodes you missed? Check out the UnTangled site - https://lnkd.in/gRqsQ6pH. I will tag everyone who joined me this season in the comments. Thank you SO much to all of my amazing guests! It was a lot of fun and I learned a ton!!!

[url=https://substack.com/app-link/post]Short deadline - Pioneering sustainable accommodations to visit in 2026[/url] From a regular contributor to Forbes covering sustainable travel. [...] Hi All, I have a query with a short deadline. I need pitches until June 3 (Wednesday), COB. Please do not send a press release, just 3-5 sentences with a link to the website. Please add “BEST ECO LODGE” to the subject line. Thank you. What makes it pioneering? (2 sentences) What I am looking for a hotel, lodge, resort, etc. with a true, sustainability ethos, not just a GreenKey or LEED certification. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I am looking for a hotel where every detail conveys a message “I am thinking about nature, local culture, conservation”. They do not have to be perfect though. I am not looking for massive chain hotels, I prefer boutique hotels, eco lodges with local owners. I am also not looking for budget accommodations or hostels. And I am also not looking for ultra-luxury. They can be anywhere in the world. Why should travelers go there in 2026? (1 sentence) Why should I talk about this hotel, eco-lodge, resort etc. now? Is there a new dark sky park nearby? Does it celebrate something in 2026? Is it in the path of the 2026 solar eclipse? Is it in a country bouncing back from conflict or disaster? Give me any reason.

Sidephone Press Manager - Open Source Status - App Footprint & Support

Free Open Source Hi! Right now I am working on an article about open source and communication for a spanish magazine called Jot Down. I want to know (if it is possible with a press manager inside the Sidephone enterprise) this questions: Open-Source Status of Proprietary Software "Sidephone is advertised as being based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project). What percentage of the software developed specifically for this device—such as the minimalist launcher or the custom user interface—is currently open source?" "Are there concrete plans to publish the source code of the custom UI layer on a public repository like GitHub or GitLab? If so, under what license (GPL, MIT, Apache) and what is the estimated timeline?" "The firmware controlling the hot-swappable physical keyboards is a crucial feature. Is this firmware completely proprietary, or will it be open-sourced to allow community-developed keyboard modules?" Pre-installed Closed-Source Apps and Digital Footprints "The device includes third-party applications like the HERE maps engine, which is closed source. Are these apps pre-installed as 'system apps' (impossible to uninstall without root access) or as standard user apps?" "When a user uninstalls any pre-integrated closed-source application, how does the system guarantee that no residual folders, background daemons, or telemetry services remain active on the device?" "Does the Sidephone software ecosystem include any proprietary app store or in-house cloud services that collect diagnostic or usage data?" Sustainability and Long-Term Support "Is there an official channel or framework for community developers to submit code contributions (Pull Requests) to be integrated into official system updates?" "In the event that official corporate support for the device ends in the future, will the necessary drivers and source code be released—within legal boundaries—to allow alternative ROM communities (like LineageOS or postmarketOS) to maintain the hardware?"

European HVAC Manufacturers & Distributors - AC Demand Surge

🌡️ Record-Breaking Heatwaves: Is Europe's AC Market Heading for an Unprecedented Surge? While Tokyo is already bracing for a summer predicted to outlast and outheat last year's grueling season, a similar—and unprecedented—climate shift is unfolding across Europe. According to recent updates from Nippon TV, France and the UK are experiencing historic, early-season heatwaves. On May 26, temperatures in France skyrocketed to 35.8°C, the highest on record for the month of May. Meanwhile, London broke its highest May temperature for two consecutive days, hitting 35.1°C. For Western Europe, this is more than just a hot week—it is a critical wake-up call for infrastructure. Historically, AC penetration in Western Europe has been remarkably low. From the iconic terrace cafes of Paris to the boutique hotels of Southern France, indoor climate control was rarely deemed necessary. However, as extreme temperature fluctuations become the "new normal," relying purely on natural ventilation is no longer viable for public health and business continuity. Air conditioning is rapidly shifting from a luxury commodity to essential health infrastructure. 📈 What does this mean for the HVAC industry? According to JARN statistics, the French air conditioner market stood at approximately 840,000 units last year. With these severe climate shifts driving early-season panic buying in both Japan and Europe, industry insiders are anticipating substantial market expansion across the EU this year. As manufacturers and distributors, the race is on to secure supply chains, optimize energy-efficient solutions, and meet this accelerating global demand. 👇Industry professionals, I want to hear from you: How is your region responding to this early demand? Are we looking at a permanent shift in European HVAC infrastructure? Let's discuss in the comments below. #HVAC #AirConditioning #ClimateChange #HVACIndustry #MarketTrends #Sustainability #GlobalBusiness #HeatingAndCooling #SupplyChain #EuropeMarket #EnergyEfficiency　株式会社ジアン

ESG Professionals in India - Data & Supply-Chain Infrastructure

What I’m Learning from Studying ESG Startups in India I’m currently studying India’s ESG and sustainability market from a founder-research perspective. Not as an expert with all the answers, but as someone trying to understand where the real infrastructure gaps are. One thing is becoming clearer: ESG in India is moving from branding and annual reports toward compliance, data, operations and supply-chain systems. BRSR has changed the conversation for listed companies. But the deeper challenge is not only reporting. It is whether companies can collect ESG data from internal teams, suppliers, vendors, plants, logistics partners and business units in a clean, verifiable and repeatable way. That is where I see a major gap. Large enterprises may have access to consultants, enterprise tools and sustainability teams. But India’s mid-market layer - suppliers, exporters, industrial SMEs, manufacturers, logistics firms, textile units, packaging companies, chemical businesses and regional operators often do not have the same ESG infrastructure. Many are not ignoring ESG. They are simply not equipped for it yet. They may struggle with: • Baseline emissions data • Supplier-level documentation • ESG policy templates • Audit-ready evidence trails • Clear internal ownership • Recurring data-collection workflows • Tools that convert compliance language into daily business action This is what I am trying to understand better. I’m currently studying: • BRSR reporting and BRSR Core • Carbon accounting • Supply-chain traceability • Climate SaaS and ESG workflow tools • Consulting and assurance • Green fintech • Circular economy models My working thesis is simple: The opportunity may not be only in helping companies write ESG reports. It may be in helping them build the operating infrastructure behind those reports. That means better data collection, supplier onboarding, documentation, carbon visibility, workflows and evidence trails. I may be wrong. This is still a working thesis. But I believe India’s ESG market becomes more interesting when we stop looking at it only as a reporting requirement and start looking at it as an infrastructure problem. I’d be grateful to speak with people working in: • ESG reporting • BRSR • Carbon accounting • Sustainability consulting • Supply-chain compliance • Procurement and vendor management • Climate SaaS • Green finance • Industrial MSMEs and export-led businesses I’m not looking for polished answers. I’m looking to understand the messy reality: Where does ESG data get stuck? What do suppliers struggle with? Where are consultants still doing manual work? Where can software actually help? Where is the opportunity being underestimated? If you work in this space, I’d value a conversation. I’m studying the market seriously and trying to learn from people closer to the ground.

UK Restaurant Operators - Farmed Salmon Sustainability & Menus

The British love affair with fish and chips is a culinary cliché but farmed salmon now outsells cod almost three to one, but can it ever be sustainable at scale? 🐟 Salmon now accounts for 31% of all UK seafood sales by value. Over 92% of it is farmed. It's a remarkable success story for the industry — and one that is attracting increasing scrutiny, not least from the foodservice operators who have built menus around it. I've spent weeks investigating the issue for a new Footprint in Focus article. Here are some of the challenges being addressed: 🐟 Norwegian salmon farms release nutrient waste equivalent to the raw sewage of over 17 million people, according to research published by the Sunstone Institute in May 2026 — contributing to oxygen level decline in the country’s fjords and the destruction of kelp forest ecosystems along its coast. 🐟 A 2024 study in Science Advances suggests conventional fish-in-fish-out calculations may understate wild fish consumption — with corrected ratios for salmon potentially as high as 5.57. 🐟 The ASC — the industry's leading certification body — covers 41% of global farmed salmon production, according to its own 2024 data; independent reviews have raised questions about consistency of enforcement. 🐟 A FAIRR report backed by investors managing $12.7 trillion identifies the industry's dependence on wild-caught fish for feed as a material financial risk, noting no major producer has set targets to reduce it in absolute terms. 🐟 The GSFR | Global Salmon Farming Resistance campaigners who visited Norwegian farms first-hand raise questions about the gap between the industry's technology narrative and conditions on the ground. The industry is investing heavily in responses — from Mowi's AI-driven "4.0" farming strategy to improvements in feed conversion ratios. Whether that investment is moving fast enough is a question operators are increasingly being asked to consider. For those looking at alternatives, chalk stream trout, UK-caught sardines, sprats and flatfish are among the options gaining traction — and operators who have made the switch say the transition has been more straightforward than expected. The full piece is here: https://lnkd.in/eYP9Q2Sr We'll also be continuing the conversation about farmed salmon during a session at #FootprintFestival in September. I'd love to hear from operators navigating this — what's driving decisions on your menus? #farmedsalmon #sustainableseafood #sustainablehospitality Anthony Pender CBII Agustina Copello Catalina Cendoya Hannah Kapff WildFish Chantelle Nicholson
