The top 10 drive 30% of all emissions, next 90 drive the remaining 70%. Industrial producers comprise about 30% of global emissions. Much of it driven by the energy they consume during production. 10 companies can meaningfully impact 9-10% (30% * 30%) of global emissions.

There are many systemic problems to work out. And it's an incredible time to be alive. I'm still floored by the privilege of standing on the shoulders of who came before us. Hafez. Claudette Colvin. Newton. Ada Lovelace. Mary Oliver. RBG. Scott Joplin. we are them, they are us.

“We’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken, but simply unfinished. It’s because being American is more than a pride we inherit. It’s the past we step into and how we repair it. For there is always light. If only we’re brave enough to be it.".@TheAmandaGorman
