Of course the public was (and is!!) the culprit. Only the individual "footprint" is so small that almost nobody does something. Real structural changes are hard to enforce. There is always something more pressing, just look e.g. at the 100 billion Germany spends on war (how many trees that would give?). As a politician it would be the end of the career if you tried to enforce something really drastic (and so nobody does it, incl. "the greens").
