Well, we kind of have to get basic necessities, so often buying stuff from corporations is necessary. Yes, we shouldn't buy useless shit, but why are we making useless shit in the first place?
I do agree that we as inviduals should take some responsibility, such as not littering and trying to minimise our waste, but we have to hold corporations accountable for their actions.
Also there are a lot of more ethical and responsible ways for corporations to produce their goods, but they choose to not to. Why? Because it would take more money, and they don't give a shit about anything else than their money.
