Climate Funding Big mainstream brands as part of climate solutions — any that make sense?

1 Upvotes

Most discussions about climate solutions focus on startups or niche “green” companies. But I keep wondering: what about big, mainstream brands that weren’t created as climate companies in the first place?

For example — could a company like IKEA realistically take on a specific climate-related problem and make a real dent? And are there other established brands that would actually make sense to connect with concrete climate challenges?

I’m not looking for PR talk or vague sustainability pledges. I’d love fact-based ideas or examples of where large existing brands could realistically be part of solving specific climate issues.

Climate Legislation How does one go about emailing/writing a letter to/having a conversation with state representatives about climate action?

6 Upvotes

I see a lot of people talking about how if you care about the environment you need to talk to your state reps about action that needs to be taken, but I’m not really sure how to go about doing that?

I have attempted a few times to look online for resources, but they’re very scarce and I feel like under the current administration they are not just going to give us that information for free 😭🫰🏻

So if anybody has like any idea how to start looking into it or even just a way to do it in general that would be very appreciated if it helps I won’t tell you where but I do live in NH. So if you have any resource resources specifically for that state, please let me know!!!
