"Green" Stadium named ExxonMobil Ballpark?
The Washington Nationals ballpark is the first stadium to be LEED Silver Certified by the U.S. Green Building Council. Yet the Nationals continue to accept millions of advertising dollars from Exxon, by far one of the world's biggest contributors to global warming.

Exxon may produce the oil and the gas but it is we who use it. We cannot blame big oil for our own overuse of petrochemicals. They will keep on drilling until we stop buying. So the question becomes who is producing the worlds Carbon emissions and what are they going to do about it.
We need to take responsibility for our own consumption it is the only way to reduce the production.

Though I see your point, I disagree. If the automobile industry does not produce an electric car, how is the average consumer going to have time to convert their cars to electric. We need a green infrastructure, and yes, people need to get off their lazy asses and work to create the change. But ultimately, changing policy and changing the industry standard to fit into the sustainability ethos is most important.
