  1. What kind of changes would you like to see across the tech world? I feel like a lot of companies are just smokeshows with nice verbiage, but don't really provide the resources, either in time or capital.
  2. Building off the last Q, what's the best tangible positive response you've had? Everybody says "I care about the environment" but I want to hear an example of a person/org who followed through.
  3. Which facet of 'environment' are you most concerned about? Air quality, ocean health, climate change, deforestation, etc. They're interconnected, but is there one that stands out the most to you?

Thanks for this reply. It's nice to know that there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes for these companies to 'do their part'.

As a follow up Q, it sounds like a lot of these operations are also self-beneficial financially; I can't imagine an exec saying no to something that reduces cost and simultaneously helps the environment. Are there cases where you see a company make a drastic shift and prioritize the environment over profits (big drives or product launches, not "changing plastic straws to paper straws")? The only example I can think of is Patagonia refusing corporate partnerships.
