There are two things at play here: one is the very real, very negative impact that humanity (as a whole) is having on the environment. Two is the corporate/media machine trying extremely hard to divert attention away from themselves, and put the onus on individual people.

Make sure you put that plastic bottle in the recycling (never mind that the vast majority of it isn't going to be recycled anyway). Oh, ignore those new coal power plants, ignore us restricting green investments, ignore us lobbying to keep fossil fuels around for longer.

The climate change movement is good for humanity. Corporate media are, and have always been, trying to co-opt it.
