Multinational corporations push for action on climate change

| 0 Comments

Climate Progress reports on an open letter to the senate in which a group of multinational corporations, including Bumble Bee, Dell, DuPont, FPL, Google, HP, Johnson & Johnson, Levi Strauss, Nike, PG&E and Xanterra, urges the Senate to pass a bill this year that will cut GHG emissions and “jumpstart a clean energy economy”. From the letter:

“We have reformed business practices in order to curb emissions. In our experience, these changes have not only been good for the climate, they’ve been good for business.”

Very interesting.
