    Action at the individual level

    Individual x 8.1 billion = significant change.

    Yes, some companies are just awful, but we are supporting them with our lifestyle. Our choices affect their bottom line, and often force them to do better (or worse) depending on how we spend our money.

      Yeah, the method for those 8.1 bil to organize together to affect meaningful change exists already — it’s called countries passing laws to stop corporations.

        Stop them from doing what? Providing goods and services to 8.1 billion people?

          a collectivist environmentalist, a practical environmentalist, and someone clueless about pollution and extractivism walk into a bar…

            Believe what you want, I guess. To spend my time on an Internet forum over doing something useful does necessarily require me to be quite stupid.
