Walmart, McDonalds and other large companies are pushing their suppliers to reduce packaging, pursue zero waste and cut energy use in order to save companies and consumers money. It can also mislead people into thinking they can buy their way out of the carbon crisis that is destabilizing the Earths operating system. Companies can have big impact creating markets for solar panels on their roofs, energy efficient equipment, and cleaner products that aim for a triple bottom line - people, planet and profit. Walmarts size and aggressive goals have made it a leader in reducing carbon pollution. Business for Social Responsibility consults with AT&T, Coca Cola, Starbucks and other large companies on a range of environmental and social issues.

| 05/30/2013 | Californians Against Fracking Rally
When & Where: May 30, 2013 at 12:00pm Governor Jerry Brown's Office: State of California Bldg, 455 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA Details: If you live in California, you can help make history with the Center when we join in launching Californians Against Fracking, a statewide coalition working to ban fracking in California. Fracking poses a direct and immediate threat to California's drinking water, air, food, health, wildlife, climate and economy. While the state prides itself on being a leader in the fight against climate change, oil companies are gearing up to frack the estimated 15 billion barrels of oil in the Monterey Shale. This area is home to some of the state's most productive farmland, critical water sources, important wildlife habitat and communities from the Salinas Valley to the Los Angeles Basin. In both Los Angeles and San Francisco, more than 60 labor groups, farmers, public health professionals, environmental and environmental justice organizations and local residents will come together to call for a ban in California on the dirty and dangerous practice of fracking. Join hundreds of Californians as we take our message directly to Governor Brown and deliver tens of thousands of signatures on petitions to ban fracking at rallies in front of the his offices in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
