When you're poor, you already do 3-5 and 2 is usually taking a bus or walking anywhere.
If you're poor you have a lot less responsibility for the problem. Wealthy and middle class people a) almost certainly have a higher historical impact (in some cases by being part of the systemic cause), and b) have more time and security and resources with which they can push for change. And therefore have an ethical responsibility to act, IMO
