What are we as individuals supposed to do? I can only cut down on my polluting so much. My ability to do so is severely limited by the options available to me which are decided by corporations.

Especially cause it's a myth that regular people have all the power when it comes to climate change. Most of the issues come directly from factories that could be doing better to minimize toxic waste and pollution but instead they spend billions lobbying to make it okay.

Yea, I can cut down on my driving, try not to be wasteful, and look for less plastic packaging and all that but that all depends on what options are available to me. If I need something and all the options are in the worst packaging possible or they sell electronic garbage that breaks after a year because the company doesn't care then it's out of my hands.

Yea, at the end of the day my only solace is that I'm not having kids and neither are my siblings so I don't have to worry about the planet being fucked for them. Don't get me wrong i'll still do everything I can for our youth and I'm a punk at heart but I won't lose too much sleep over it.

Yea, I'm not interested in having kids either. Which now that I think of it is a pretty good benefit for the environment too as I'm cancelling out all my potential descendants emissions.
