After spending a month in China building a zero energy house as part of an international competition, Louis has joined us in LA for a week of R&R. In between playing tennis and going to the beach he is also looking for his first full time job. As a civil engineer he could work for a wide range of companies some of which are participating in the destruction of our planet. So the question becomes should you work for a company that goes against what you believe in? What comes first a full stomach or your principles? Here are ten companies which many people would be happy to work for but that I would find it difficult to justify:
- Philip Morris (Cigarettes)
- McDonald's (Junk food)
- Exxon (Oil)
- Boeing (Armement)
- Fox News (Media)
- Monsanto (Agribusiness)
- Porsche (Luxury cars)
- Nestlé (Coffee and baby food)
- L'Oréal (Beauty products)
- Facebook (Social media) - have you deleted your account yet?
I'm pretty sure that the world would be a better place if these companies or what they represent were not around.
