Personal responsibility was an ad campaign created by the oil industry. Every American could reduce their carbon footprint by 90% and we still wouldn't make a dent in the carbon large corporations create.

I still actively reduce my footprint, but no matter what I do, until we hold corporations accountable it doesn't fucking matter.

You guys act like those corporations sell if there is no demand.

Nah that isn't true though. The biggest emitters are utilities and oil companies. Cut your fossil fuel usage and the rest follows from there.

It's not one or the other. It's both. We all have to change, individuals and corporations. It's the "well I don't have to do anything" people that are a big part of the problem too.
