I can understand the argument that individual consumer changes are not enough to stem the tide of climate change. But I’m not sure that means individual choices have zero real impact.

I think the voting analogy is good, but I take a different lesson from it. Not that voting is pointless. Individual actions matter a great deal in their cumulative effect.




Nope. Individual actions are pointless. The only thing that might impact climate change is large scale government regulation.

The only action an individual can take to have an impact at all is to lobby their government.
