It´s an example that might work in the case of Telsa, and few other companies, but in general ?
Most of the damage to the environment has been made by companies making their own interests, and by the politicians that allowed it to happen.
The only obligation the owner/CEO of a company has is towards his employers/employees, and if it aligns with a general benefit for the community at large than fine, if not... well though luck it´s not really their job, is it ?
That's why a body whose main function is (supposedly) caring for the benefit of the community is necessary and I agree with the author's point that you can have a positive impact in different ways.
It doesn't make sense to say that we don't need government/politicians, we need GOOD ones, doing the job they are paid for.
