    Multiple things can be true at the same time. Multiple courses of action can be reasonable.

    Of course. And your original statement was only placing blame on individuals, which is the type of attitude that helps these companies get away with the all the environmental damage they cause. 80% of the cause should also be 80% of the focus.

        Right, so the focus should be on the big 6 and how they finance the fossil fuel industry to raise awareness and encourage people to switch.

        Putting the blame on the individual (you need to reduce your carbon footprint) and expecting them to research every business and product they interact with on a regular basis means

        1. the research won’t happen because nobody has that kind of time, and
        2. if they do try to do research on their own who knows if they’ll actually research their bank.

      No, it was not only placing blame on individuals. That is your interpretation of it.
