>Are they trying to say that those companies pollute directly, or that they sell to people who then pollute?
The companies are selling polluting materials, every single one of them is a producer of fossil fuels. Can you really sell a customer a gallon of gas and then blame them for the pollution when burning it?

Are they trying to say that those companies pollute directly, or that they sell to people who then pollute?
Because the former is definitely the company's fault. And we should be asking them to stop that.
But the latter is entirely the responsibility of their customers. And that's us.
