We have to clean up the Green-energy industries

 

Naomi in her book “On Fire the Burning Case for the Green New Deal” she talks touches on term she coined called green colonialism.  In that she is talking about how conservation efforts around the world are kicking out native populations while installing state protected nature reservations or parks, without even asking the indigenous people about it.  The Interdisciplinary Centre for Conservation Science did an article about this and what they came up with for why this is so widespread is because there is no centralized program on how to do or set a protected area.  In their article Conservation Science says that only 85% said that conservation should do no harm, while another 40 % that it was an acceptable practice to displace people in order to set up a protected area these abuses have also prompted countries like the US pull funding for major conservation organizations as well which could be seen as a major blow to the industry.  Of course, in their article Conservation Science also talks about alternatives to setting up state protected areas including education, corporate collaboration, and more nature-based tourism.  In my opinion though it would be much easier to just protect the indigenous people along with the land they inhabit.  Then there is the human-rights abuses being done by the Green-Energy industry that are usually associated with oil and gas industries, and with a whopping 197 allegations of human rights abuses according to the Bloomberg which is not good.  In most business, one of the more imperative things a company has to do is to stand out from its competition which the green energy industry is not doing well.  According to an article written by Kate Hodel and posted by The Guardian most of these instances of abuses comes from the companies supply-chains, and in her article Kate urges the green energy industry to clean up these supply-chains quickly as demand could rise as high 900% by 2050 as the Global population switches to low-carbon technologies to combat rising heat levels.

I have also commented on Kathryn McCanless and Heather Faulkner's posts and I should have 30 points by now.
