I don't like arguments like this. Individuals can still make a difference. That's like saying no one should bother donating to charity. Sure, a handful of donations won't flip a switch and make the world a perfect place, but it's still important. Making personal decisions to help fight climate change, and holding large companies accountable, are not mutually exclusive actions.

The post refers to what YOU can do, it's intention isn't to tell you who's responsible.
