Google has been spotlit for its commitments to the environment, particularly in it’s promise to manufacture its devices from recycled materials and a move to carbon neutral processes but for all that, the company is in bed with some dirty dealers that undermine much of their good works.

Google has made contributions to multiple climate deniers that actively lobby against legislation that would conserve the environment and lower emissions. These groups have been at the root of many of the United States moves away from eco-friendly policies and protections.

Of course, Google’s focus isn’t the environment, it’s technology and they back these groups for their support of their main goals. However, you can’t eat circuit boards, you can’t breathe data. Supporting these groups is a harmful choice in the long run.
