Check that your Linky meter calculates your consumption correctly
Check that your Linky meter calculates your consumption correctlyJacob's Ladder - Feb 24, 2024
Electricity bill too high? Check that your Linky meter calculates your consumption correctly.
Are you paying more for electricity than you consume? Your Linky meter may be incorrectly connected. Here are two simple methods for identifying potential anomalies.
The energy crisis is pushing individuals to be more and more attentive to their electricity bill. Their major concern? Determine how to reduce their consumption to reduce the amount to pay. But be careful, the effort will be in vain if the meter is incorrectly connected and you are billed for your neighbor's consumption.
The origin of this problem essentially comes from the installation of the meter by Enedis technicians or their subcontractors. In six years, between 2015 and 2021, they installed 35 million new smart meters. A massive deployment which could have caused errors. Unlike its disk-based predecessors, the new Enedis meter requires, once the cables are connected, to be programmed with the Delivery Point (PDL) corresponding to the correct housing. It happened that the technicians reversed two programmings by injecting the customer's PDL into the neighbor's meter. If most of these installation errors could be detected and corrected quickly, it is possible to check that the electricity billed to you is indeed that consumed.
The first thing to do to ensure a good connection is to read your PDL (also called PRM, for Measurement Reference Point) on the Linky screen:
On your Linky meter, press the + button and scroll through the information until you see “PRM number”. This 14-digit number is unique and identifies a delivery point to the distribution network.
Then, on your invoice, look for this number, usually in the box on the left. It must be strictly identical to that of your meter.
In addition to the PDL/PRM, you can check the serial number of the meter. The latter, also 14 digits, is physically printed on the counter above the screen.
You must also be able to find it on your invoice. The consistency of this information guarantees that you will be billed on the consumption recorded by the device.
An additional method to check that Linky is supplying your home and only it, consists of cutting off the power supply and checking the absence of power recorded by the measuring device. To do this, scroll through the Linky information until you see “THEN APP SOUTIR” (for apparent power drawn). If you consume electricity at the same time, the value on the screen is non-zero and fluctuates depending on which devices are turned on. Then cut off the power supply to your home by lowering the lever of your subscriber circuit breaker. On the Linky screen, the power drawn must drop to zero. If this is not the case, your meter is incorrectly connected.

Garbage collectors' strike: our overconsumption exposed
Garbage collectors' strike: our overconsumption exposedReporterre - March 23, 2023
While the garbage continues to pile up on the sidewalks of the capital, what do the inhabitants think? While everyone recognizes the problem, few have changed their habits.
Here, containers are puking with waste. There, bags wait neatly lined up along a building. Elsewhere, a huge heap spreads out onto the street. Everywhere, black, green, yellow, blue or pink plastic… The heaps of garbage that have been laying siege to the Parisian sidewalks for the past fortnight sometimes look like works of art glorifying our overconsumption. What triggers awareness?
“We don't need the current situation to realize that we are consuming too much! says Florent, who lives rue de la Bienfaisance, in the 8th arrondissement of the capital, a stone's throw from the Elysée. “These uncollected trash cans are super unpleasant,” grimaces the young man, visibly impatient to see the garbage collectors again. “Of course we order a lot online, but we try to limit our purchases, to buy locally. In our offices, we have set up recycling, etc. “, he lists before heading to a “meeting”.

Eco tourism does not exist
Reporterre - Jul 13, 2022
Tourism, “green” or mass, destroys territories and social relations. It transforms everything into a commodity, into a product to be consumed.
Tourism remains today the first industry – because it is indeed an industrialization of leisure that we are talking about – on the planet. With 1,4 billion international tourists (compared to 25 million in 1950) and $1 billion in exports in 700, the sector concentrated – before Covid-2019 – 19% of world GDP and one in ten jobs. Also a first in ecological impact: industry alone emits 10% of the planet's greenhouse gases.
Remember that mass tourism was invented by Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, which developed travel agencies and means of transport between the wars to organize and control the free time of their populations and to buy social peace.
“Tourism transforms any reality and any feeling actually experienced into simple curiosity and, at most, into emotion stimulated by its display. It transforms reality into representation. »

Addicted to fashion, we accept horror for a trendy bag
Addicted to fashion, we accept horror for a trendy bagMr Globalization - June 30, 2022
Our century indeed too often does without this tedious time of reading, ingestion and advanced research, which is nevertheless essential; rather succumbing to an addictive consumerism of partial knowledge, sterile polemics or binary prejudices.
In Fashion, Catherine Dauriac – in collaboration with Isabelle Brokman – thus exposes the many verified facts and figures that litter the fashion sector with shame in the greatest of silences. Because while we turn a deaf ear, while the subject seems to us too anxiety-provoking, and while buying recklessly seems more comfortable to us, the industry that manufactures our disposable clothing continues to sow horror, in particular by mistreating human lives and non-humans, stretches of land, waterways, air, biodiversity, etc.
“Our civilization is addicted to fashion, even more than to sugar.
We buy more and more clothes. Our wardrobes are overflowing, while we only carry a third of our wardrobe. We are hungry for novelty, style, clothes.
On the internet, we have never ordered so much. »

Real ethical clothing
Mr Globalization - June 8, 2021
From plant fiber or recycled plastic, from textiles to labels and cords, all of ANTHROPOCENE's clothing comes from the recycling of waste recovered from the oceans or from factories located in France. Products, almost 100% “made in France”, truly ethical!
Mr Mondialisation is an informal think tank and French-speaking citizen with an international focus. Mr Mondialisation is also this masked and anonymous character imagined and interpreted by its founder for more than 10 years. Its main objective is to fuel free debate in the public sphere around the major global and local issues of our time.
“Paying attention to how we produce and how we don't produce is important, but it is also essential to take a critical look at how the money that is earned is redistributed. With my friends, we therefore had the idea of donating more than half of the profits to environmental and social associations. »

The French energy market is plagued by manipulation. This article warns against the "dynamic pricing", which could lead to an extraordinary increase in KWh prices. EDF is subject to constraints favoring private companies with aggressive canvassing and guilty of fraud.
Like in Texas in February, where many electrical installations had been paralyzed by extreme cold, causing stock market prices to soar.

Dangerous nanoparticles contaminate many vaccines
Dangerous nanoparticles contaminate many vaccinesSott: Sign of the Times - Jun 7, 2020
A 2017 study of 44 types of 15 traditional vaccines, manufactured by major global companies, sheds light on the fact that they are heavily contaminated with nanoparticles and heavy metals.
The list of contaminants which in no way constitute a drug is instructive: aluminum, tungsten, steel stainless, chromium, magnesium, titanium, nickel... This raises questions. What are they doing there? Are these particles intentionally placed in vaccines?
“The analyzes carried out show that in all the samples checked, the vaccines contain non-biocompatible and bio-persistent foreign bodies which are not declared by the manufacturers, but against which the body reacts anyway. This new investigation represents a new quality control that can be adopted to assess the safety of a vaccine. Our hypothesis is that this contamination is unintentional, since it is probably due to polluted components or procedures of industrial processes – for example, filtrations – used to produce vaccines. »
