I have to take issue with the idea that "big nature" doesn't exist. The fact of the matter is that companies have realized that all they have to do is reframe getting their way into some cause and they can get their way without having to explicitly say what they want.
Do you really think that all of these big businesses that seem perfectly okay doing business in China that has actual ethnic concentration camps think that black lives matter?
Do you think that the world's largest oil companies actually think that we should become carbon neutral?
It's a facade. There's a small cottage industry if people who really care about the environment and are pushing to that end, and a massive group of modern PR teams that have figured out that people don't care about a lot of things once you manage to reframe it to have a smiley face on it.
I'm not saying that the woman that you're writing about here is affiliated with any of those groups, I don't know. I just don't like it that we're becoming so naive as to shut our ears and our eyes to the obvious.
