I do believe the biggest impact would come from regulating large companies and billionaires, but it’s not one or the other.

This is your only option. Managing your carbon footprint sounds like a great idea in concept, but the entire concept was created and promoted by oil companies to distract us from where the real damage comes from. Worrying about your own impact is noble but if you're doing it to save the world you're on the wrong track.

BP Oil telling people how to be more environmentally friendly has got to be the most hypocritical bullshit I've ever heard of.

Tacking onto this, I recall a Climate Town episode where he discussed which bank you decide to use matters. Oil companies' biggest donors are banks that get to loan out your money.
