DEFENDING ESG: ENVIRONMENTAL - SOCIAL - GOVERNANCE

On this episode we'll talk about corporate responsibility and the efforts in Congress to pass bills opposed to “environmental, social, and governance” - ESG - efforts. The House has passed two bills that, if also passed by the Senate, will prevent corporations from considering anything but maximizing profit.

Tune in to hear about greenwashing, stockholder activism, divestment, lobbying disclosures, how the Securities Exchange Commission/SEC is designed and why it changes with every administration, stock ownership concentration, the oil industry's reaction to the Summer of Heat civil disobedience, and our power as consumers.

Our guest this week is Jon Golinger, Democracy Advocate from Public Citizen. Public Citizen advocates for ordinary people by taking on corporate interests and their cronies in government.

Our environmental news for you this week covers artificial intelligence and its energy use, and protesters fighting the consequences of continuing plastics production. We try to open every show with good news and we bring you some from Mark Latour of TheEnvironmentTV  Forum.

Our music for you this week is by The NYC Metro Raging Grannies - “Corporations Run the World!”
