Can Corporations Help Save The Planet, and other thoughts

An interesting topic raised on foot.ie brought this to the fore in my mind.  The question came up about the likelihood of Corporations - among the most powerful entities on the face of the planet - to resolve some of the problems on the planet, several of which they themselves had a hand in.  The two things that stood out in my mind, were (1)  Can the governments of the world do anything to encourage (with prejudice if need be) the Corporations to help tackle the problems facing the planet, and (2), will these Corporations manage to do it off their own bat?  I got to answering it, but before I knew it I had written a short essay on the matter, and I thought that it would bore many of those on the forum, but perhaps interest some of you who have been known to read this.
