    That is my entire point. Companies only do things that get them money.

    Consumers drive markets, companies follow markets. Change how you buy, companies change how they pollute.

      That’s not your point because you’re missing a critical detail: Companies can make a single choice to make very large changes, but your single choice doesn’t mean shit, especially if you’re in a minority. It’s just a way to make yourself feel smug and righteous among your peers.

      Individual actions only have merit when there are large majorities driving them, pushing powerful groups with enough force to act.

      Without power, you can affect nothing.

        How sad life must be for you to be so powerless to affect even your own actions. I’m sorry
