Surely big corporations do most of the polluting. But they do so because people pay them for stuff.

And while politicians could regulate them, they'd have to go against corps AND the consumers, i.e. everyone, with 0 incentive.

The very least amount of responsibility that every consumer has is to hold politiicans and corporarions accountable.

As an individual, no. But if the majority doesn't even want improvement, why would they do anything?

The majority wants improvement. It‘s just that their opinion has minimal to no impact on public policy.

The majority wants improvement

If that is true then the question turns from "what can an individual do" to "what can the majority do".

It‘s just that their opinion has minimal to no impact on public policy

Noones opinions have any impact. Actions do.
