    I got one word for you: Vote.

    Corporations like BP push individual responsibility and personal carbon footprint[1] to try to neutralize you from achieving real policy gains which would have a much greater impact than your individual action. Time spent trying to convince people to vote for politicians who take climate change seriously is far more productive than time spent trying to educate people about their so-called carbon footprint. Of course we all play a part but seeing this chart it’s clear we need more action and that’s why I’m saying this.

          The whole point is that not enough people are voting. Look at how many people stayed home in the most recent US election.

          What I’m trying to say if people wanted to make a big impact on climate change they should organize and rally around people who want to stop climate change.
