>Those 100 companies get paid with our money.
As I've commented before, the things we all consume could be produced more ecologically, at the cost of reduced profits. Which will never happen unless through legislation.
>My purchasing choices (or lack thereof) will have far more impact on co² reduction than my vote
Agree to disagree here. Heard of the EPA? What purchase can you make that has anywhere near the impact of an institution like that? (Before it was regulatory captured...)
>there isn't a single candidate, let alone party, that is going to do a damn thing about it
Patently false. Plenty has been done research and legislation wise, but since there isn't enough support to get stuff like the green new deal passed, what are we do to? Oh, elect more politicians that DO support it? Think i mentioned something like that...
>If being close to carbon neutral does nothing more than let me say "I did my best, so I'm not gonna beat myself up", them so be it
Again, not saying you should stop, just saying a conscientious actor might feel even better if you did a notably more effective action, and it might do a lot more for climate change to boot.
> I could do as I please and not worry about my conscience!
Another misrepresentation of my stance. I am not suggesting that, I'm simply suggesting political action is a much more efficacious approach. The fact you believe not a single politician cares about climate change is a depressing and inaccurate stance that does explain your position though, as much as I disagree with it.
