Great little article about the ineffectiveness of fighting systems of power (in this case climate change) with consumer choices.

"Steeped in a culture telling us to think of ourselves as consumers instead of citizens, as self-reliant instead of interdependent, is it any wonder we deal with a systemic issue by turning in droves to ineffectual, individual efforts?"

What's needed is what's outlined here: WWII-scale climate mobilization.
