Not my OC but what I've believed for years: there's no conflict between reducing your own environmental impact and holding corporations responsible. We hold corps responsible for the environment by creating a societal ethos of environmental responsibility that forces corporations to serve the people's needs or go bankrupt or be outlawed. And anyone who feels that kind of ethos will reduce their own environmental impact because it's the right thing to do.

Thoughts?

I think I'd quite like to try out a society that praised things like humility, modesty, selflessness

and vilified things like, gluttony, vanity. envy, pride, greed.

I'm not sure where i'm going to find one of those - it'd probably get attacked by some international agency that claims to have intelligence.

That's why part of the key is autonomous on the ground activity that is not on the surface a direct threat to them - although it should be openly aspiring to become a threat. The more we make up of the ecosystem the owning class depends on for support, the less feasible it becomes for them to attack us, until we eventually grow around their entire root system and choke it out.
