I wouldn't disagree with you but I agree with gp that you need both sides. If you had a population that was apathetic and didn't believe change was possible (and did not act accordingly), then really nothing would get done. The only way stuff gets done is through outreach and education. Once a critical mass of people truly believe that the only way forward is through intense environmental law reform, then it will happen. Of course companies will fight tooth and nail to not make it happen but that shouldn't be the primary deterrent for not doing anything about the problem. |

Exactly. I completely agree with the both sides bit, I just think we've got the direction of priority wrong.
Reduction in consumerism comes downstream from that type of education and outreach. Going at consumerism first just makes you seem like a reactionary who wants to "steal our gas stoves" to the ignorant propagandized, and unfortunately needed, masses
