"The amount[...] that industries pollute" is just "personal changes" with more steps.

  Personal changes against the grain or personal changes following the grain. Imagine I want to be responsible by drinking soy milk but it's hidden in a corner of the supermarket. Now imagine every supermarket prominently displays soy milk and cow milk is hidden in the corner. Seems easier to make the change, right? Many people will change automatically because they don't really care and just do what's easiest.

    I wish the soy one were hidden on a corner on my local supermarket. There isn't even one anymore in my country, and that's the biggest soybean producer in the world. Other plant milks are 3x the price of the cow one because of economies of scale and subsidies. It's all a big joke.

      In some countries they're not allowed to call it "soy milk" which is a big joke. I understand why you can't call it "milk <font size=1>of the soy variety</font>" but nouns with adjectives can, in fact, refer to things the adjective-less noun doesn't refer to. So the soy yoghurt in Germany is called Alpro - the brand name. The dairy industry even fucked themselves over, because even their real yoghurt doesn't meet the strict definition and has to be called "mild yoghurt" instead.
