    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.

      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.

      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.
