Unfortunately, they are not enough. Nationally, although overt rollbacks of environmental standards and programs have been halted in their tracks, citizen and environmental worker actions must be more decisive and assertive than ever with a Congress intent on rolling back regulations and laws, and a president who is sometimes far too willing to compromise. We must celebrate such actions and challenge corporations to become truly responsible citizens. Or better yet, as Richard Grossman has advocated, we should demand that corporations adhere to the laws that still theoretically bind them. Originally, when a corporate charter was granted, the community of citizens which hosted it could vote to disband it if it ceased working towards the common good.
Corporations are just constructs.
Citizens and communities need to fight for more control over them. People have become thoroughly detached from public life, believing they have far less power than they actually have. Reporters are looking for, and will publish, stories about citizens taking action. Neighbors, family, and friends are open to influence. William Greider writes of power as something to be spoken to.
