People say that "one person going vegan, not flying or not having kids won't solve anything" but if one is not willing to do the fucking bare minimum, how the fuck are we ever going to fix this shit? Corporations don't just pollute and despoil for the hell of it, we literally PAY THEM TO DO IT as consumers. It's such a fucking cop-out to say that change has to come from the top. We drive EVERYTHING.

but expecting people - not just many people, but a lot, an enormous number, at least a majority if not an overwhelming majorly - to spontaneous commit to a coordinated action despite widely differing philosophies, politics and life circumstances, is like expecting dissolved sugar to spontaneously re-crystallise back into a cube at the bottom of your cup.

plausible paths to change require organisation, and there are not very many examples of successful organisation that aren't led from the top.
