This probably isn’t a surprise to you, but a new study show that 95% of corporations don’t care about climate change.
In “Reclaiming Transparency in a Changing Climate,” Ceres, the Environmental Defense Fund and the Center for Energy and Environmental Security reviewed more than 6,000 SEC filings from S&P 500 companies between 1995 and 2008. The report finds that just 5 percent of annual reports from these firms laid out a strategy for managing climate change-related risks, while 76 percent of companies didn’t even mention climate change in their reports.
We can’t depend on the government or corporations to save our planet from climate change. We’ve got to do it ourselves! If you haven’t already, buy some carbon credits to offset your carbon use, and give some credits to your friends! Together we can win the fight against climate change.
