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?

Businesses have to do their part in order to stop climate change.
A significant portion of the greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere are caused by commercial businesses. Practically everything from big corporations to small farms produce some amount of greenhouse gases. As a result of this, those businesses will need to significantly reduce their output of greenhouse gases in order to stop climate change. The efforts of individuals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will not be enough unless these businesses also take action.
