I agree with you in general, and I believe that if we are to begin really fixing the pollution epidemic, change will come first from regulation of big companies. But I also know that we as individuals will have to eventually exist in world where producing pounds of plastic refuse and driving our cars everywhere is not considered normal; so I try to adapt my current lifestyle to that, bits and pieces at a time. I have a hard time reconciling these two attitudes but at the end of the day, I don't believe supply and demand are going away so we have to push the bigger polluters out of existence with our wallets.
