Companies That Destroy The Environment

I have heard from when i was a kid that McDonald's is cutting down the rainforest. U.S. Navy throwing all trash overboard.
Can you think of more?

 

Personal habit.

 

WE are ALL responsible. It's because of---------------------BUY MORE. BUY MORE NOW.

 

You must be very young to be so unaware of how widespread this is.

 

-Am an American-



I think therefore I am.



I feel therefore I matter



Commitment to instant gratification



Avows me to grow fatter



With every passing day



My expanding wasteline



Let's me know I've set a new



Record comfort baseline



But I'm not long for this world



I know I'm heaven bound



The Bible tells me so.



My reasoning is sound.



What could be so wrong



With this cozy picture



Be a comfort slave



Become a charicture



Of an Ameri-can



To a third world eye



What more can I eat



What else should I buy



Consumerism's great and



Communism's bad



I heard it on the tube



I learned it from my dad



He learned it from his school and



You probably did too



Patriotic propaganda



Has its hold on you



We fight our wars to spread our freedom



America the brave



Crashing down democracy



Like a giant tidal wave



But hey we'll be here



To pick up the pieces



Already ready to offer



All these affordable leases



Being a good debt slave



Is as free as you will be



Now knock off that dissent



and repeat after me







I pledge allegiance to the flag



Of this nation under god



While the Islamic State



Wages their jihad



I wonder if they question



If they critically think



Or if they just act just like me



And put their faith in indelible ink



The spelling discrepancies are there with porpoise



Let your mind be more amorphous

 

most major corporations probably pollute to a certain extent. This is one incentive for companies to move their manufacturing plants to countries like China where environmental protection laws aren't very stringent - although it still happens in the US as well.

fracking is a big one - it creates a lot of waste which is then pumped back into the earth's crust.

 

When DDT was banned here--it was sold to Mexico. Read that years ago.

 

ALL BALD EAGLE BELONGS TO US-A

 

All car manufacturers, although they have done a lot better with emissions but with Over 1 billion cars being driven daily in the world, lots of pollution.

nuclear power plants........

 

everyone wants to blame someone else,
and of course it is industries and the boards and ceo's of them,
but its also the public who demand the products and services which these industries deliver by doing so.

worst of course are the fossil fuel industries.
who keep selling the bill of goods that we can't have power and powered everything without doing so.
we want things made out of wood. for that trees are cut down.
we want things made out of plastic, and again petroleum,
coming from worse and worse places and in worse and worse ways, because of course, we are using it up faster then nature puts it into the ground.

the biggest problem that the most people contribute to is the car.
everyone wanting to drive these tons of steel, especially in cities where they really don't belong and people are complete idiots to keep demanding that they do.

if you live 50 miles from the nearest grocery store, or you have to drag a ton of crap around with you for work, that's an excuse.
but what percentage of vehicle use does that excuse actually apply to?

close to 40% for energy, more then 40% for transportation. that leaves less then 20% for all other industry combined.

sure there are many guilty parties in the 20%, and all of them could be done differently.

and every one who thinks it doesn't matter now, is really going to be hated by the starving and diseased majority, looking back, a very few years from now.

 

Dow Chemical and its subsidiary Union Carbide have had their share of unexpected transients over the years, including a town in Missouri which had to be permanently abandoned because it was found to have a high level of dioxin in the soil,

and there was another minor mishap in Bhopal India which resulted in the deaths of 5000 people and adversely affected 170,000 others.

Survivors today continue to exhibit damage to the lungs and eyes from exposure to a relatively benign chemical called Methyl isocyanate, Reproductive effects and increased number of stillbirths and spontaneous abortions have also been observed.

This actually rarely happens. First, the vast majority of international trade is between developed countries, who tend to have similar environmental regulations. Secondly, environmental regulations are not a significant cost to companies - even the most pollution intensive industries in the United States spend only 2 percent of their revenues dealing with pollution (and most industries spend much less). And even if it was possible possible to save some costs by cutting environmental corners, many firms build factories everywhere in the world using the same latest, cleanest technology from the developed world, simply because that kind of standardization saves costs. Hell, foreign investment in polluting industries is the fastest growing segment of foreign investment in the United States, and foreign investment in clean industries is the fastest growing segment of American investments abroad. Foreigners are bringing dirty industries to the US, and American companies are bringing clean industries to the world. Why? Because seriously polluting industries (like bulk chemical production) require high levels of skill, reliable infrastructure, and political stability (because they are capital intensive). Why would you jeopardize that by moving the plant to Indonesia to save a few dollars on environmental costs?

 

I think moving the manufacturing to certain other countries (like China) is mainly done for the cheaper labour costs.

Only when something goes terribly wrong. As long as it all goes well it is actually pretty clean (not completely renewable) energy. The nuclear waste needs to be properly stored of course.

 

Tell that to the residents surrounding TMI, Chernobyl, and Fukushima (and there have been dozens of other unreported accidents which the public was not privy to)

Ok, I'm on it!
