“individual consumption doesn’t matter” is green “your vote doesn’t matter”
I’d argue individual consumption is often more impactful than your vote. You can’t gerrymander a dollar.
When it comes to votes, details aside, your vote is weighed equally to everyone else. When it comes to most matters of consumption, especially relating to greenhouse gasses and other environmental issues, individual “votes” pale in comparison to industry. It becomes more like owning a share in a company, yeah your shareholder vote “matters” but the bank/investment firm that owns 500,000 shares certainly has more sway.
