The map by Starkey Comics shows where ‘mom’ is used to describe your mother/mummy/mammy/mum/mam.

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet".
What’s in a name?

[EcoMomics @Ecomomics_ie]

These emigrants spoke mainly the Irish language, so it’s not surprising that the Irish ‘mamaí’ became commonplace under the guise of ‘mom’. With our own lovely Tonyia being a proud Limerick woman, we didn’t feel that the use of ‘mom’ was controversial.

When we cover a particular topic, we like to follow up with some 'Mom Actions' to show how we can all reduce our bills and our carbon footprint. Which of these 'Mom Actions' will you try?

Now this is what we’re talking about - France could be the first country to penalise companies for producing cheap, unsustainable clothes. This would be a huge win for the environment. #buyless #mindful #shopping https://t.co/cKdTWFaEwn

Half time @Euros2024bible and switched channels to find #insidepennys repeated on @RTEOne 😔 This shameless repeat promotion of one of THE worst #climate #offenders in #fastfashion is truly unacceptable @rte and giving them airtime to publicise their international expansion 😤

Google's planned data centre to contribute over 220,000 tonnes of carbon emissions a year in the short term https://t.co/Og3Hj5kmaY 😔😔🤷‍♀️ @CNaM_ie ?? Hope @rodericogorman gets onto this asap ! #climatedisregard

Italy raided factories & found that Armani and Dior bags are made by illegal Chinese workers in Italy who sleep in the workshop and make €2-3/hr. Both companies have been placed under Italian court administration.

Dior paid a supplier $57 to assemble* a handbag that sells for $2,780

Armani bags that were sold to consumers for €1,800 cost €93* to make.

(These don’t include raw materials costs)

People often wrongly conflate higher prices for higher ethical standards.
