I agree that the world does not need "you" to reduce your footprint to zero. But people do have collective power. If everyone reduced their footprint a bit, that would make a dent.

Even better is if everyone realized that the big polluting beasts are fed by us. Everyone withholding just a little money from these corporations makes the graph of their profit go from pointing up to pointing down. And they sit up and take notice at that, even if they are still making billions annually. They are literally a house of cards and we are the bottom layer.
