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

    Vote for better policies and laws that force companies to be better as well.

    Even if we improve ourselves as much as possible: We still need the products of big corps which only improve because of (1) laws or (2) when losing money.

      Also, let all your politicians know in advance that this is what you will be doing.

      We need them to know this is what we want.

        In the US, yes. In Germany, Switzerland and every other country with a good election system there are many different parties so you can just vote for the greenest (or the literal “Green party”).

          I’m actually in New Zealand, where we have MMP proportional representation and a Green Party.

          But I still let all the politicians in my electorate know that this is a voting issue for me.

          We need to move that Overton Window. The more politicians know that this is what we want, the better.

          If you’re in a country with a good system, you probably have times where you need your political parties to work collaboratively to pass legislation and solve issues. It’s good for them to know that we support them on this.
