Indirect action idea (I wonder about it).
Gather with other persons to invest a few shares in the major groups responsible for CO2 emissions.
Not to have weight per se, but to be invited in shareholders assembly. And to be regularly loud about the topic of the group's responsibility. It's enough for 4, 5 distinct individuals to bring up related questions in the same assembly so that it bothers other investors.
Bothering from within is a start.
- questionasked 8y agolmao how is paying the companies responsible for this possibly a good idea?
- Juliate 8y agoYou're not paying the company, you're buying a share of its capital. That's not the same thing at all: in exchange, you get a right to get shareholders information and to participate in general assemblies, a right you may sell back later. Plus, 1 share is enough to be invited to the shareholders meeting to get to ask questions. That's not out of touch. (edit for clarification)
- wohlergehen 8y agoAt least in Germany, this exists [1]. Sorry, but the page is not in English. They target fossil energy, chemical and arms manufacturing industry mostly. You should check if this exists in your country (I can't believe it doesn't) and get involved. This approach does work. 1: https://www.kritischeaktionaere.de/ https://www.kritischeaktionaere.de/
- monktastic1 8y agoIf I'm driving the demand they're fulfilling, I'm probably not a good choice to complain. So I guess we have to find the guiltless ones first....
- Juliate 8y agoBeware, that's a trap. Guilt is not a valid reason not to object to, to criticise the compromission. Would I be drunk, that wouldn't disqualify me from criticising all of: my own responsibility, alcohol, policies regarding liquors. (in the same way, would I be a believer, that wouldn't make it impossible or irrelevant or even hypocritical to criticise faith, religion, church, customs, etc.). That's the good thing with reason: you are allowed and you can detach from what you're talking about.
