The NRDC does incredible work. Kindly donate IF you can (click here). I have direct relationship with this organization.
As people around the globe have become increasingly exposed (click here) to the impacts of our climate crisis, the entities with perhaps the most power to stop the crisis—corporations—have begun to squirm. Corporations produce just about everything we buy, use, and throw away and play an outsized role in driving global climate change. A recently published report identified that 100 energy companies have been responsible for 71% of all industrial emissions since human-driven climate change was officially recognized. And it’s not just the energy sector. According to self-reported numbers, the top 15 U.S. food and beverage companies generate nearly 630 million metric tons of greenhouse gases every year. That makes this group of only 15 companies a bigger emitter than Australia, the world’s 15th largest annual source of greenhouse gases....
Proctor and Gamble has been a highly successful company from it's inception which this graph shows. Yet, in the blink of an eye, when Americans worried about Chinese paper rolls in toilet paper, the stock prices started to dip.
The financial sector has to go company by company to assess the dangers they impose on our climate and what part are they playing in the crisis. No company is doing that on a daily or weekly basis. If they did they would begin to realize they are not doing everything possible to end this climate disaster with a burgeoning tipping point that could effect the ability of Earth to sustain life. There is considerable episodes of mixing between the troposphere and the stratosphere. THAT dynamic has to end.
Bending the profit line down enough to prevent any and all emissions of any kind is a reasonable request. Any company can commission MIT for designs to end their emissions.
P&G shareholders can relax, though. (click here) The sale wasn't spurred by the billionaire investor having lost faith in the company. Instead, it was simply a tool by which Buffett could efficiently raise cash to focus Berkshire's position on one piece of P&G's portfolio: Duracell batteries....
American Tissue Companies: Glossing Over Their Major Emissions
Take Procter and Gamble (P&G) as an example. NRDC and Stand.earth recently published an in-depth look at the impact P&G and a number of its competitors in the tissue sector are having on the world’s remaining intact forests. The report found that use of virgin pulp in the production of their toilet paper, facial tissue, and paper towel brands is a major greenhouse gas source. In fact, with annual virgin pulp use at 1.5 million metric tons, P&G’s disposable paper, hygiene, and baby care products are estimated to generate 17.8 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions each year. [1] That’s a big number—equivalent to the annual emissions of 3.8 million passenger vehicles—but P&G’s greenhouse gas reduction goal applies to only a tiny percentage of these emissions....
