Do companies have the power to move the needle on global emissions? A power law says yes. A 2017 report by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) found that 100 carbon fuel producers generate 71% of global industrial greenhouse gas emissions since 1988.

The top 10 drive 30% of all emissions, next 90 drive the remaining 70%. Industrial producers comprise about 30% of global emissions. Much of it driven by the energy they consume during production. 10 companies can meaningfully impact 9-10% (30% * 30%) of global emissions.

What if the most important question is how to be kind (to others and to yourself) more consistently?

Your soul sometimes plays a note
Against the Sky's ear that excites
The birds and planets.
Stay close to any sounds
That make you glad you are alive.

“We’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken, but simply unfinished...
It’s because being American is more than a pride we inherit. It’s the past we step into and how we repair it.
For there is always light...If only we’re brave enough to be it."
