Ah, you're doing the bidding of the oil companies I see. Shame the consumers, and nothing will happen. But you will feel good about your changes, at least.

If you want to stop climate change, it needs to be not 2%, not 5% of people, but more like 90% reducing their consumption to near-zero. But without government intervention, you can't get much. Matter of fact, shaming consumers alienates a lot of people. There's a pretty large "Fuck Greta" movement in many countries, because people are idiots.
