Hmm... I specifically mentioned collective action. But I think there’s more we can do than vote. We can work to reduce our impact, tell everyone how we did it, and then form collectives that embody our goals. I prefer the notion of supporting companies that care rather than forcing companies that don’t care to act like they do. Perhaps it’s good to force bad actors to comply to some minimum level, but voluntary action can go much farther. For example we’re unlikely to solve the climate impacts of meat consumption with the law - because we probably can’t ban meat consumption - but voluntary veganism makes a big impact over time.
