Project Summary / Description:
This project was created because we asked the question, why are we not making more progress towards solving climate change and related issues. You find that there is a powerful business and economic case that has been made for short term profit at all cost, and when you look for who is behind that effort you find that business organizations like the US Chamber of Commerce and allies and lobbyists have become a massive power. Therefor the need was to create a business power to provide counterpoint narrative and force to advance market change and polices for reduction of carbon emissions, advancement of renewable energy, and sustainable economy.
