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?

Companies making the earth kinda hot
Corporations are great. They provide for the human population by producing things that we need, things that we demand. However, when businesses try to reduce costs or when they try to produce something, they have a huge carbon footprint. Factories will release tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to the earth heating up. A great way to counter this is to have the government regulate more strictly what companies can do in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.
