That's not how I read this at all. Rather it's attacking the idea that a few individuals doing the "right thing" can make a difference, when really we need to tackle the larger problem such as corporations.

Indirectly, corporations are doing what is being dictated by the individuals. They produce what we are willing to buy. If we only buy the cheapest stuff, ignore how it is made and its impact on the environment that is what corporation will make. Unless we vote for governments that will make laws that will force these corporations to not offer environmental unfriendly products.

In the end there's more responsibility to the individual that we are willing to admit.
