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?

Corporate Responsibility
Big companies have always been known to be money hungry by sacrificing our health along with the atmospheres. For example many oil companies emit harmful and toxic chemicals into the atmosphere, not only causing internal health problems to humans, but also destroying parts of our atmosphere. Many large companies also often have a bad habit of mismanaging waste products and those harmful substances are at risk to be accidentally spilt into water systems, causing water pollution, which can be very detrimental to health. Some ways we as a community can help reduce this problem is by not supporting those large companies, and instead supporting environmentally friendly businesses. Although being environmentally friendly is more on the expensive side, if those options are accessible to you, then I would definitely recommend supporting them. For example, you can do something as simple as supporting a small business, like this coffee shop in Oakland that roasts their coffee from a zero emissions roaster and they use alternative sugars in their coffees like coconut sugar and monk fruit sugar that are diabetes friendly. If we all do our part in supporting environmentally friendly businesses and brands then we can help inspire others to do their part and slowly help our atmosphere become healthier once again.
