Not my OC but what I've believed for years: there's no conflict between reducing your own environmental impact and holding corporations responsible. We hold corps responsible for the environment by creating a societal ethos of environmental responsibility that forces corporations to serve the people's needs or go bankrupt or be outlawed. And anyone who feels that kind of ethos will reduce their own environmental impact because it's the right thing to do.

Thoughts?

If Individual Reponsibility actually somehow lead to the ratification of laws for corporate accountability then the Corporations wouldn't have spent the last 60 years pushing it, imo. I mean, sure, promote it, I recycle aluminium despite it being 12 miles out of my way to do so, but don't act like it does any more than it actually does.
