That's an incredibly naive and misinformed opinion you've got there. Most of the companies polluting are not businesses that members of the public buy services from. The vast majority of the largest polluters are business to business providers, Joe public can't do anything about that.

Just look up Monsanto, if we took them out the total pollution worldwide would probably drop by about 50% but they sell to farmers, so you might say well don't buy from farmers that buy from Monsanto but the problem is all farmers buy from Monsanto, so there isn't another option.
