Or is this all pointless self-flagellation, when just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions?
Is a paper straw going to save us? Do we really need to waste our time sorting recycling into various bins if it's all going to end up in landfill anyway?
What about the counterpoint: The reason these 100 companies exist and create all this mess BECAUSE of mass consumption, and therefore by changing our individual habits, we should be able to reduce those emissions at a grassroots level?
Or is it more useful to simply hold these companies to ransom and demand that they clean up their acts, without every person having to have four different recycling boxes in their kitchen?
