A really interesting read:

      While Big Tech companies often boast about their climate commitments, their actual carbon footprints may be vastly underestimated. Transparent and accurate carbon accounting is essential to ensure these tech giants are held accountable for their environmental impact. They are frauds

        Very disappointing!! By underreporting emissions, these companies risk undermining global climate goals, highlighting the need for standardized metrics and rigorous scrutiny to ensure genuine progress in sustainability efforts.

          @walter_lungayi Yeah, underreporting emissions can significantly hinder progress toward climate goals. It shows the urgent need for standardized metrics and rigorous oversight to ensure that companies are genuinely reducing their environmental impact

          All companies bringing about any kind of pollution should be held responsible and heavily penalized for their actions.

            @rosebellendiritu I agree. Holding companies accountable for pollution through stringent regulations and penalties is crucial. It ensures they invest in cleaner technologies and practices.

            It's about time that all the relevant governments carry out investigations on how to deal with all companies bringing about pollution and hold them accountable of their actions

              @jane_wangui Strong governmental action would not only hold polluters accountable but also send a clear message that environmental degradation will no longer be tolerated, fostering a healthier environment and more sustainable economy.
