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
Corporate responsibility is very important, and a large contributor to climate change. according to the natural resources defense council, 100 energy companies have been responsible for 71% of all industrial emissions. This means that big corporations have the largest impact on carbon emissions, especially when compared to the average human. Also, many of the products that negatively impact the earth that is used by the average person are made by corporations. The process that food and beverage companies use to make their products results in 630 metric tons of greenhouse gases according to the NRDC. This could be prevented by uses eco-friendly processes of distributing and making these products.
