Even voting isn't really going to help, because it won't affect the large corporations that are at fault. Sure, a minor regulation may require a carbon catcher to be installed on the smokestack of that factory, or a tarp over the train cars full of coal (dust) powering though downtown, but those are band-aids on a severed limb.

The only force that will get these companies at the top to change is public opinion. A massive hit to their bottom line from a sustained and comprehensive strike across the nation.

And that isn't possible with politics.
