>The companies are producing climate emissions on your behalf
Let's not be naive, most if not all things they produce on my behalf could easily be produced with a more ecological process, it would simply require reduction of profit to retool/rebuild infrastructure. Which we all know is only going to happen by enforcement/regulation. If all of that's true, political action is the answer for "most effective individual action you can take to impact climate change", not "abstaining from vacation and plastic straws".

Exactly, which is why we should utilize regulation to tip the economic scales of profitability in different methods of energy production... And other such legislative tools we can use to incentivize such transitions... All of which relies not on "paper straws" but on concerted political action.
