The important part is pretending something will be done (ideally by someone else), not actually tackling it.

- secfirstmd 7y agoI'm an advocate that places like YCombinator should be pushing the places they invest in to take this seriously. Every company should have to present an environmental action plan and plan to become Carbon Neutral as part of its investment strategy. Right now, because it's the right thing to do, in future, because environmental exposure is a huge risk for companies YC has led the world in tech investments and growth/value creation by typical measures. It should lead the world by environmental measures also.
