If CEOs don't understand words talk about profits.
When sb asks: who runs the world? I have answered international companies of course. And also when ask me for the responsibles (or major contributions on Climate Change issues) I answer the same and the common perception (an demand) is that they have to improve their productive process but also they NEED it! so let's talk about profits for them. To transit into cleaner ways to produce and to invest in free sources as the solar, the wind and the poop! Mexico has one of the better geographic location to take 100% advantage of solar energy (for electricity) but also and heat (for boiler or gas needs); in the wind we are not the number 1 but we still have a great potential mixing the solar one with the eolic through PV generators which trigger centrifugal pumps to extract water in rural areas.
Finally, the ones who works with cows and pigs could improve their waste mgmt and also to save money in the electricity and energy consumption through their own biogas production.So if the next time some CEOs tell you that the transition for a better world is expensive please show him/her otherwise.
