&2i<p>"More than half of all green claims that companies put on products in Europe are vague, exaggerated, or just plain false.<br>A new European law was supposed to stop this greenwashing. It would have forced companies to prove their environmental claims — with independent checks and real penalties for lying.<br>But two weeks ago, just before the final round of talks, the European Commission suddenly pulled the plug on this law — after pressure from conservative and far-right politicians who want to destroy all the environmental laws we fought hard for. ... If thousands of citizens add their voices to this outrage, while the European Commission is divided, our leaders will not be able to quietly kill the law.

It was a total rip out so only one layer now.</p><p>*Gutters- no downspouts— We had new seamless gutters installed at the same time as the roof</p><p>*Furnace oil tank rust: When the new energy efficient furnace was put in in 2021, we had a new, modern tank installed.</p><p>All of those items they listed as reasons makes me think they, or their underwriting AI program, used old, public photos of the house, inside and exterior. Nobody came, esp to do an inspection of the inside oil tank in the basement.</p><p>The letter has no directions on how to dispute and prevent them from cancelling.
