Your reply and the one above hit the nail on the head. I have no clue why it is always our individual responsibility to make these changes when wasteful corporations make up double what we consume. At my office, they don't recycle. No one in the entire suburban office park recycles. So one of my coworkers set out a bin and takes our recycling to his home. Like, why does everything have to roll down to individuals like this when companies have the same access to light switches and recycling services and energy-saving fixtures we do, but they won't.

Edit: It reminds me of the phrase "We aren't going to paper-straw our way out of this problem."
