Obama-era thought that data visibility helps drive decisions. Should physical goods have a label that estimates the amount of carbon it takes to manufacture? From food to concrete patch mix to electronics? Would digital goods be exempted?
@cryptoxic In principle yes. It's similar to the #GMO labeling war (which corporate giants sadly won). But a CO2 label is non-trivial. Would the EPA do the calculation for every US product? Would other countries accept their calculation, & vice-versa?
@resist1984 never seen cloudflare come up in NoScript when visiting but...
@namtari are we cloudflared?

@cryptoxic @resist1984 indeed we are. Wish we had a better, more decentralised option but 
@resist1984 it is non-trivial, perhaps it could feed new businesses that standardize the effort.
At some point I assume that there would be a market access to compliance trade off decision. Food labels, fuel efficiency standards, and medical device standards are defined in a number of regions, but they are mostly the same or the affected industries determine which markets they want to be in and choose the most stringent (thinking Cali vs US fed fuel economy) of those.
@cryptoxic BTW, I can't see your original post b/c toot.site is jailed in #CloudFlare. Then the archive.org #WaybackMachine says "This page is not available on the web because page does not exist". Plz consider switching nodes; the toot.site admin doesn't understand the purpose of the #fedi.
