Ecologistas en Acción launches La Bolera: 16 environmental myths debunked with data and humor

The “La Bolera” campaign by Ecologistas en Acción tackles environmental misinformation by using humor and a respectful approach to debunk myths about climate, energy, and biodiversity. The initiative responds to the need to counter false narratives that are often used politically to discredit the environmental movement, providing the public—especially young people—with accessible tools to identify misleading claims without feeling blamed for having shared them. At the heart of the project is its “buloteca,” a digital resource that pairs each false myth with its corresponding “fact”—a rigorous, evidence-based explanation that encourages constructive debate rather than ridicule. This structure enables citizens to easily distinguish reality from fiction, fostering critical thinking and the ability to respond with valid arguments against the growing spread of misinformation on social media. This initiative is relevant to open data because it demonstrates how verified scientific data can be transformed into accessible and understandable public knowledge assets. By democratizing rigorous information and creating an open resource to debunk fake news, it empowers citizens to actively contribute to the informational health of democracy, ensuring that social decision-making is grounded in objective reality rather than manipulation.
