Pratt does packaging and inherited the business and vast wealth. Made it? No. Grew it? Maybe - haven't looked at the detail. Recycling of this kind has a stink of "tax optimisation and subsidy claim" about it but I don't know this as a fact in this case. It's a massive stretch to say he made his fortune trying to stop climate change when he grew it by growing his inherited packaging business. Claiming he made it trying to stop climate change completely degrades the whole idea of this story, really. Number 4 on the list. Net Green Worth 6.8 billion. The same has his entire net worth. It's comic. If you haven't thought about it much, landfill use is very, very low on the list of things to address in stopping climate change. As its own issue it lacks the climate change urgency yet always get itself shoehorned into the climate debate somehow with subsidy to follow. No doubt we'll have yet another hollywood style celebrity who knows nothing, is famous for being attractive to look at and if they have any skill at all it is lying convincingly go on to tell us to tackle climate change we should refill our water bottles in stead of placing them in the bin in the follow up article. "Well it's a start" No it isn't, it's nothing at best, it's a distraction from adults talking intelligently and undermines grass roots movements, which is the whole point of the publicising of celebrity advocacy in general. "Let's ignore this person who knows and makes a solid case, because Angelina Jolie has thoughts her publicist would like to share as long as you agree to these terms so she massage her image while you farm your clicks." Bloomberg. Yeah. Bloomberg claims to be better than this. Now let's play "What has this article got to do with Mike Bloomberg trying to undermine the reform of the massive corruption in the Democrat party?" Unless you think he's actually seriously trying to be elected, which is something worth discussing if you do. What isn't worth discussing is weather Bloomberg News are, possibly among other things, his personal propaganda, because they've actually announced that themselves. Genunine idealogically Republicans and Democrats alike are all desperate for reform. From just about anywhere, which is a concern because there are places we don't want it from, like the extremes. Under-qualified Obama got in on that ticket. Democrats voted for Donald because "Just maybe a maverick outsider, and anyway unlikely to be actually worse" Plenty of republican support for Bernie because "Just maybe a maverick outsider and anyway unlikely to be actually worse" It saddens me that Bernie as the most credible Democrat reformer would have smashed Donald as the most credible Republican reformer at the last election. It saddens me because Donald was the most credible Republican reformer and that there still doesn't seem to be anyone better among Republicans standing against him. Anway back to businesses making money saving the planet. We need more. This list is very, very thin and contains ring ins.
