This was a french article so I am making a small recap of it and post the link to the french article after.
In September in france, in what they call les Ecoles Scientifiques which would be the equivalent of colleges or universities devoted to science, a small petition started among the students, it has now 27,000 signatures, not a lot, but important enough so companies pay attention..
The message is " You are a company ? If you turn your back to the environment [ "l'écologie" in french ] I will not come work for you ! " What do the students expect ? " Fulfilling perspectives of futur ." What they demand from their employer ? " A radical change of trajectory." in the direction of respecting the environment. The article says it's a "weak signal " but in a world "where the chasing of brains and skills is absolute priority, it would be perilous not to listen to this message and its demands. " " This peril seems to constitute our best hope for change."
From the french, the petition is titled " A Student Manifesto for the Environmental Wake-up "
this from the really serious french daily paper Les Echos
