About this blog
I am Ginovaldo Simões, an engineer, and I currently live in the Netherlands.
Why I write
My concern about the environmental impacts of technology led me to investigate what happens before a humanoid robot is manufactured and after it is discarded. That question raised others: what resources do we use, what emissions do we generate, and how do we protect water and ecosystems?
I created this space to continue that research and address other topics related to environmental pollution and global warming.
How I approach the topics
I seek scientific and institutional sources and identify them in each article. I distinguish documented data, limitations in the available information and personal proposals. A concern deserves rigorous discussion, even when answers are still missing.
Research in progress
The initial articles are based on a documentary review. They do not represent my own measurements or an original scientific study. Whenever the data do not support a conclusion, that limitation should be clear.
