The exact change
The article presented a 90%/six-month waste figure, Philips 50-75% and remanufacturing 80-85% energy figures, a 'Mountain Institute' 9-13 car-sharing figure, a 15%-of-world-rare-earth Apple figure, a Nielsen 2023 73% figure, and a trillion subsidy figure as established facts.
Reframed each as an estimate, vendor figure, or survey self-report, corrected the car-sharing attribution to Rocky Mountain Institute and the subsidy figure to the IMF, and added the appropriate uncertainty caveats.
Suggested change
See before/after.
Why this is better
The figures come from advocacy, vendor, or survey sources and were stated with more certainty and precision than they support. Corrections qualify them and fix attributions rather than removing the underlying points.
How this record is verified
- The contribution is tied to a real, identified contributor, not an anonymous byline.
- It counts only because the publisher, When Notes Fly, accepted it. Self-claimed work earns nothing.
- It is recorded against a specific page and cannot be bought or edited after the fact.
