Corporate Greenwashing
Capitalism has created amazing economic opportunities and growth. It has brought society forward in so many ways. But is capitalism really doing anything for the environment? If it was an effective means to solving the climate crisis then why hasn't the linear growth in emissions started to level off or decline?
There are inherently competing interests between capitalism and the sustainability of the environment. The efforts of capitalism and industry have not successfully driven significant reductions in greenhouse gasses. One of the biggest problems with the dominance of capitalism, is companies end up putting profit motives over the long term viability of ecosystems and human health.
