    I agree, and I think you’re even perhaps being a bit harsh, people can do things, but a lot of the time it’s so impractical as to not be worth considering. In a car based society it can be almost impossible to forego a car. And I certainly don’t blame anyone for doing what they need to survive or even just live comfortably.

    The only thing I have an issue with is people who otherwise could, choosing inaction because ‘corporations’. Corporations are almost 100% to blame, political parties being able to take bribes/donations is one of the biggest failings of modern society and has led to so much harm it’s almost unfathomable. But I still don’t accept that as an excuse to do nothing, corporations and politicians aren’t going to change otherwise.

      100%, I don’t blame the person I blame the society and the one where in focuses on importing foods and goods, chewing through fossil fuels, and we don’t get to choose where our energy comes from, we don’t get to choose where our foods come from. Company’s even set up campaigns to put the blame on the users like carbon foot print was made by shell to shift the blame to the consumer.
