Those companies polluting are making products that people are buying, they don't just pollute for the hell of it. If everyone actually changed their buying habits these companies (and most of the global economy) would collapse.

But how am i able to stop people from buying boxes full of random shit from shein and amazon? That is the problem. I have no impact on other peoples spending choices.

Take for example video games. I don't preorder and i don't buy microtransactions. Vote with your wallet right? But then there are people spending all their money on it and it just gets worse.

The only thing i can think of that i can have a tiny impact on is being vegan. Cooking vegan for people so they see its tasty and hopefully they replace their meat based dinner with a vegan one every few days.

But besides that i don't know what to do to stop people from feeding bad things in the world.

You can't, and that's irrelevant to what I was responding to.
