Climate objectives: let us apportion responsibility where it should be

Too bad there's only so much you can do as one person.

You can do all the above like you said and also be a member of an energy coop, buy at the local farm or invest in sri (pension) funds that don't invest into fossil but that's about it.

(if you don't want to change into a fully different life style f.e. Low impact, off grid earth ships etc.)

Multinationals can force individual countries for financial/ecology rulings or they can threathen to move somewhere else.

Sad but true...

Personal empowerment and personal consciousness are great messages, and those of us who choose to live by these concepts are free to do so to some extent. But the big system also needs to change or our little drops in the bucket will do no more than slow down the eventual bad result.

TPTB like to use personal behavior as an alternative to societal change. It is a false choice. There will always be a very large percentage of people willing to exploit the system as it exists, and everyone must do so to some extent.
