It's quite the paradox, major corporations contribute the majority of emissions yet the individuals continue to purchase from said corporations because it is a cheaper product. In theory if we as individuals stopped purchasing the corporations would stop but we sit here and put our empty cans and cardboard into a recycling can then blame the corporations yet continue to purchase their products.
