I think it's misguided to talk up individual action over government regulation. I'm sure it feels nice to "do the right thing" but it's not impactful. In some cases, it frees up resources to be further wasted by the problematic % of people who just don't give a damn.

My suggestion is always to elect better politicians and write better laws.

You can do both.

The focus belongs on government regulation and smart polices. Example: the current landscape of recycling in America is a complete scam for the most part, outside of aluminum cans.

Personal behavioral changes will not impact on the scale required.
