    Its just as unrealistic that one person affects global pollution as much as it is unrealistic that one person go and personally stop the pollution at the source, isnt it?

    It seems like you are arguing noone should do either direct or indirect action, since neither is feasible on an individual basis.

      no, one person can shut down a pipeline. it’s just a valve you can turn off.

        You know thats absurd or else people would be doing it. Its not just a valve, and its not out in the open with no protections. My cousin used to guard the Alaskan pipeline. How do you suppose I go and affect that without getting shot?

            Its less likely than people choosing not to eat meat.

            I’m not sure what sort of great effect you expect a single person to have attempting to either steal all the worlds animals and hide them or to destroy oil infrastructure.
