Nothing. It's not our individual fault. It's going to keep going no matter what you or I do (short of terrorism) until the whole thing crashes down around us.

Corporations might be largely at fault but regular people can keep voting with their dollars. Corporations have to adjust to demand.

Most of the top polluters in the world are fossil fuel producers. Want to slow them down? Stop driving ice vehicles, take public transit, bike, walk, move closer to work, or unionize and put work from home in your contract. Reduce in home energy waste, if you own a home: improve insulation, check heat loss around the edge of windows, look into solar panels. Most of these things improve you life anyway, lowering your monthly costs makes your life better.

Lobby, get involved in your community, organize.

While it's true that large corporations are major polluters, our continued actions (and inaction) give them the money and power to keep polluting.

Sure but what can one tangably do? Go to areas that are probably going to do well (or just not terrible) in the coming years?

To be honest the problem is we built a broken system.

Part 1, most companies can't afford to gamble. They can't afford switching to paper straws, the margins are that tight and we wanna talk about cutting CEOs that will work for some companies but not most.

Part 2, there's no help from the government, any of them. they were all ineffective and more interested in flirting with resource wars than collaborating for the benefit of all.
