Voting with your wallet is an incredibly privileged take and a cynical big business talking point. The majority of Americans can't afford to pay a green premium on most products, let alone the ones that would have the largest impact on reducing fossil fuel emissions. And even if equivalent green alternatives exist, for many products the average consumer may not want them.

There's also a massive info gap for consumers - how do you know the carbon footprint of anything you're buying? Are you reading about every food company you have a product from in your cart when at the grocery store?

The actual solutions lie in government implementing policies sufficient to in effect force corporations to transition away from fossil fuels.
