    That’s a government issue.

    E.g. a carbon tax will solve a lot of problems, or a tax on waste like plastic. It is very very unpopular with the public though so the government can’t put it in place for fear of being voted out.

      That’s… Really passing the buck though.

      Nothing is stopping corporations from doing The Right Thing right now except their own desire not for profit, but for maximized profit at all costs. Dare I say it, but if a company can’t make a profit without creating harm, it doesn’t deserve to make a profit.

        The us government has said corporations are legally required to maximise profit for the shareholders.

        Again government issue.
