You’re missing the point. Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, and Google aren’t people. They’re criminal corporations given free reign to poison the rest of us.
I’m not arguing that you shouldn’t try sustainability. I was brought up with the mindset. We sort our garbage, I mend and reuse as much as I can. It’s good not just for the environment and your wallet, but it’s also a protest against the consumerism pushed onto society.
That doesn’t mean that we should focus only on individual action (or inaction) and turning away from the actions of these massive corporations particularly not when they’re blatantly flaunting them right in front of us. What point is there in me criticising you for taking an aeroplane to visit your family once or twice a year when you have Donald, Musk, and Taylor Swift riding private jets on a weekly basis? Like it doesn’t even compare.
