THE TIME100 Culture Options LISTMAKERS FOR 2023:
John Kerry, the U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate Change, said,” The world needs to stop putting off and disseminating information that is getting in the way of what research says we need to do.”
Dan Ammann, president of Low Carbon Solutions at ExxonMobil, said that” Carbon prices in one form or another is definitely essential.” All lower emissions technologies can thrive thanks to it.
There simply are n’t technologies that can completely eliminate emissions from business travel, commute, or shipping, according to Lisa P. Jackson, vice president of environment, policy, and social initiatives at Apple. Accelerated creativity and investment you overcome these obstacles and assist the industry in taking advantage of this chance.
Billie Eilish, a musician, said,” On my most recent world tour, we fed our touring crew more than 24, 000 plant-based meals and worked with facilities to make sure fans had access to plant’s options.” I know that not everyone can or may switch to a totally plant- based diet, but also gradually reducing consumption of animal- derived food can have big impacts on our planet.”
Style designer and LVMH conservation consultant Stella McCartney:” Fashion is one of the most damaging industries to the world. Companies need to move away from conventional, hazardous materials and methods that hurt workers and wildlife. We need to find creative with options. A vehicle full of clothes goes to waste or incinerators every next. This is a great opportunity for any company willing to become brave and courageous enough to handle it.”
Amazon Chief Sustainability Officer Kara Hurst:” We’ve seen that career development and regional financial investment are often a result of renewable energy projects.”
