How much responsibility do corporations have for the climate crisis and for stepping up with solutions?
Here at the ISCFC we are committed to promoting personal, community, national and planetary solutions to reduce our environmental impacts and boldly confront the climate crisis. But as individuals, we can feel powerless when there are huge corporations -such as the fossil fuel industry and factory farms– that are disproportionately responsible for carbon emissions of the past and the present.
What should we do about this? Do you agree that corporations should do more? And if so, what does that mean exactly? How do we persuade or impel polluting industries to change their ways?

Products & excess plastic
Today, companies are making many products out of plastic, some people think this is wrong, but necessary, because what else are you supposed to make products out of? Well, many plastic products could easily be replaced. Plastic water bottles can be replaced with reusable water bottles made out of metal. Plastic animal enclosures can be replaced with metal or glass, plastic cutlery could easily be replaced with metal ones. To stop companies from using excess plastic, we should simply stop buying unnecessary plastic products, instead replacing them with healthier alternatives.. If there is no supply, there would be no demand.
