Leah Pierce+FollowGermany’s Car Ban U-Turn Shakes Things UpBig news for car lovers and the auto industry: Germany just pushed the EU to rethink its 2035 ban on new petrol and diesel cars. Instead of a total ban, carmakers now only need to cut emissions by 90%, with the rest offset by green tech like e-fuels. This means hybrids and even some gas cars could stick around past 2035. The move is all about balancing climate goals with jobs and keeping Europe’s car industry alive. #Cars #Germany #EU00Share

So, next time you’re picking produce, you can feel a little better about what’s in your basket! #Business #FoodSafety #EU00Share
