    I think your actions are meaningful and I’ll explain why. It’s not like these 36 companies are just over there producing all this pollution while we sit here helplessly weeping. The fossil fuels they produce and sell go on to become the household products and fuel used and depended on by all of us. Thousands of corporations use them, not just 36. Maybe we can break up Aramco and close it down, but we can’t currently do without DuPont and Proctor and Gamble.

    So until consumer are independent of the products these fossil fuels make, the companies themselves are a false villain. Therefore, your actions to become independent are EXACTLY what’s needed, and are in fact the ONLY thing that will actually help.

    The bullshit comments here about shooting 36 CEOs are not going to change anything. You are.
