I envision a future where corporations are regulated by governments to engage in sustainable practices. The VW story reveals just how common it is for corporations to attempt to cheat around the regulations instead of following them, and even when they are exposed there are relatively little consequences for these corporations. Therefore it is important for the government to step in and enforce the regulations properly, restrict the loopholes that large corporations use to maneuver their way out of, and regularly inspect the corporations to avoid exploitations. Despite the current issues that plague many NGOs, I believe they would still be the key to propel the government into action. Just like a spark is needed to light a fire, so are actions/campaigns promoted by NGOs needed to increase societal awareness that eventually pressures governmental action.

Hi Tom, I agree that campaigns can give pressure to government to enforce environmental regulations.
I think more government regulation is definitely really important to make sure businesses engage in sustainable practices. I think its a bit frustrating that many businesses will always try to cheat the system even if stricter regulations make that harder to do but I'm not sure if that can really be changed in a capitalist society.
Hi, Tom! I totally agree with the idea that government should play more roles in governing and supervising the industries and corporations, especially in environmental protection and pollution control procedure. There is an urgent to let these industries take their social responsibilities rather than only making money and showing no care to the society.
Great post! I like the idea of enforcing regulations on corporations to be more transparent about what actually goes into production.
Hey Tom, I agree that we just need to push the governments to enforce stricter regulations on companies!
Hi Tom, I also think campaigns are a great way to spread the word about problems and they can lead to actions being taken by bigger corporations and governments.
I agree that campaigns are a great way to get things started!
