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
Much of the pollution and greenhouse gases released are from the burning of fossil fuels in factories. We need ways to either cut our energy usage or replace fossil fuels with something more environmental friendly, such as bio fuel or renewable energy. Companies need to take responsibility to lessen their carbon footprints which could impact our future. There could a gradual change to reduce pollution so we could slowly get used using more environmental friendly energy. Some ways that could persuade companies into doing so are incentives such as money or land or there could be a law passed to slowly phase out certain fuels or cut back on using them.
