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 >
Corporations are doing NOTHING!
Corporations are forcing the issue onto individual responsibility and making it seem like there is nothing they can do when they have many alternative options to turn to. Companies like Shell that sell gasoline, which contains oil and when burned releases lots of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, are trying to decelerate the speed of the climate crisis protest.
This is so true, and it's especially infuriating because Shell and Exxon push so much carbon footprint messaging. If the public believes the climate crisis is the fault of individuals, they can continue to avoid responsibility.
I mean this is true but what else are they going to do? Not everybody is going to convert to using a gas alternative like electricity, it is not a war on cooperation but between people. If you want anything to change then people problems must be addressed first.
That's kinda just a blanket statement there are some corporations that are doing good for the world. If you just blame corporations for everything then your probably not gonna end up finding a good solution to fixing these problems.
