Corporate responsibility (new topic, Sep 2021!)

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?

Corporations are responsible for a majority of the world's Carbon output. I think it is important that we address their large contributions to the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. There needs to be regulations on the way large corporations produce and dispose of their products. A lot of these emissions are coming from the top energy conglomerates such as Chevron, PG&E, and many more which have created about 71% of all industrial emissions, but also from food and clothing companies. I found that food companies produce around 630 million tons of emissions per year! These goods take a lot of resources to make, distribute, and sell creating a large carbon footprint. And once a person buys it they use this item and eventually throw it away. Companies are constantly producing things at rapid pasts to keep up with demand. And some of the time clothing or food isn't always bought and is disposed of. These companies need to drastically reduce their emissions. The first step in doing this is accurately tracking how many emissions large companies are making and ensuring that they are accurately reporting. Also, continually upholding an agreement that would have consequences. This is difficult for a single person to do but voting and electing people who care about our environment is essential in getting people's voices heard. Unfourentley, greed, and corporate gain can come before the well-being of humans for these companies. So, spreading awareness and advocating is necessary for our futures and those after us who are at stake if things don't change.
