I think corporations' efforts to shift the view of responsibility from a collective goal to an individual one is one of the biggest problems we face.

Agreed

Individual action is almost never as impactful as collective action.

Here in Germany we have a saying:

Was kann einer dagegen ausrichten? Fragte sich die halbe Menschheit.

Which roughly translates to:

What can a single person change? Half the population asked themselves.
