To add to this, corporations are made of people and selling to people, and most of us are either working for them, buying from them, or both. Everyone needs to change and put social pressure on everyone else to change, this is how groups of people will change, including companies and the governments that will only change as the result of the voters' pressure.

It feels criminal, like a gang initiation. You work for an oil and gas company? You've got blood on your hands now, too.

Agree that we all need to change and pressure each other to change.
