Reduce corporate and #political corruption by making politicians, scientists and other public figures wear the logos of the companies that fund them.

So like war heroes who wear medal ribbons, the sponsoring/lobbying company’s logos are visible on their breast pocket whenever speaking in public.

And the online version would show the logos whenever you hover over their name on the web.

Would be good to see Shell and other oil company logos on senator’s breast pocket. Good idea, not going to happen though, I guess.

The transition to lower-carbon energy needs unprecedented collaboration. Shell is working with governments and industry associations to help inform the debate.

ahh, the old problem “unknown unknowns”. Even with rules to make them show who they get money from, lobbyists will find a way around it.

Weak rules mean big companies pick and choose some of what they make public
