Joe Blow or Corporate duties

Over the past couple of decades, several organizations have profited off of the idea that using their systems will save the planet. "Living Green" is one of the best selling points when talking about a product. We see metal straws being more common recycled goods being used as fast food cups. We even have started to spray our ass with water instead of using toilet paper. While things like this can be seen as helpful it has been know to not dent the environmental situation we currently see today. Several organizations have started to target corporations attempting to force their hand in cleaning up their act. We see several facilities using certain kinds of energy-producing, utilizing reusable goods, and some factories have taken to putting filters atop their facilities to lower the C02 production.

I am curious to hear about what people think. Where does the problem lay? Should it be the duty of the people to clean up their act even though it may not be enough? Should corporations be hit with taxes on C02 or regulations to force them to clean up? I know there are several theories on what to do. What are some of yours? What do you believe to be the biggest issue with keeping our planet green?

QUESTION: "What do you believe to be the biggest issue with keeping our planet green?"

ANSWER: Propaganda issued by those who profit from polluting, and ignorance by those consumers of energy who believe their propaganda.
Any theories on stopping that corruptive power?

Sure, the power to tax, is the power to destroy. But, that too is not a panacea, since the consequences would produce high unemployment. The use of incentives - in terms of cost benefits and cost deficits - need to be considered in any mass change in our energy sources.

The pendulum had swung for green energy development up until Trump; now it can and must be a priority of the Biden era. The new administration has a trifecta of problems, the pandemic, the economy and climate change along with all the other fuck ups left by trump, his family and his cronies.

Azar resigned, too little, too late. He needs to be investigated by the congress for misleading the public as well as all the others who managed (so to speak) Operation Warp Speed.

One thing I love about left-wingers, is that they scream constantly about government giving money to the wealthy, and then spin around and argue by every means possible for giving money to the wealthy.
