It’s not about deserving or not. They have a lot of power, so if they were to do it, they would make quick massive change. The problem is that there’s no incentive for them to really make any changes that would fit even the loosest standards of sustainability .

@Evolved Chicken I agree with all of this. I will say my question is important because we as the people have the power to change it all. I wish we would band together to do something but that takes a lot of time unfortunately

Nestle caring about the earth, faners? Is this a comedy act? There’s 8 billion precious humans today and every year another 80 million net new precious humans join us. Just ro accomadate these folks requires construction of one New York City worth of food housing transportation housing education healthcare etc etc every single month for rhe next 20 years. Hopium, America’s leading drug addiction, is a threat ro rhe 7.7 billion humans who are not Americans. Without massive quantities of fertilizer derived from natural gas we will not be able to feed 8+ billion 2,000 calories of food for the roughly 30,000 days of life expectancy.

Considering animal ag is the worst polluter and increasing every year(we destroy forests just to make more land for animal ag, this is never going to work until we STOP using animal products. You’ll never get net zero with animal ag, there is just way too much pollution from it. Not to mention, more research keeps coming out showing that even if we were to stop all fossil fuels right now, we would still blow past our 1-2 degree marks. Regenerative agriculture for plants, now that’s actually doable, but will NOT have anywhere near the impact that animal ag currently has. We make enough food to feed nearly twice our current population, but the vast majority goes to feeding the animals we eat. To get the same calories from plants as you would from animals takes upwards of 80% more resources. All for taste, because animal products are not needed in the vast majority of areas.

Romans 3:23-26
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
1 John 1:8-9
If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:20-21
Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Romans 8:34
Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.

Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
Romans 10:9-10
because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.

As long as there are profit commitments to 1% shareholders we can expect the climate to suffer. If nestlé wants to prove it’s commitment to climate health it will start spending its advertising dollars lobbying political leaders globally to press for realistic climate law instead of passing laws that mandate profitability to shareholders over the well-being of the people that they interact with.

The fact people are focused on nestles quality of their products is sad because it makes zero difference as to the validity of his true and dire message that we need a paradigm shift of farming practices in America and the rest of the world. Your fight is against Bayer, not the few companies actively trying to push regen ag to the front like nestle and few select others

As long as there is profit motive the required change will not happen fast enough if ever. In the current system bad practices are more profitable. Nestle is a criminal organization in the way they do business and that is why they are so successful. Too bad they are just one of the many corporations that exploit the earth for profit.

Just consult the wikipedia page of Nestlé and you will get much more accurate info than that piece of advertisement! Sorry, but was Lindsay Levin force to hand in the question in advance? “Where are you not moving fast enough yet” is the only seemingly critical question and the answer that he gives is a joke: Basically, 1. the state has to do more and 2. the competition has to do more. Yeah, sure Nestle!
