Who is electing your government? Who is feeding the corporations by buying their products? If you think your three friends not caring, and my three friends not caring, and OP's three friends not caring is all inconsequential and there's no point in changing their minds, then how do you envision change happening? That is a geniune question; do you actually have a plan of action, or is it just "the corporations and governments are the ones who have to do something"?

Like the saying goes, "no individual drop of rain sees themselves as responsible for the flood", or something along those lines.

By taking action. Words are cheap. Actions speak louder than words.

Apart from the fact that "taking action" is still not a concrete plan and your comment is still void of any real substance, are you planning on taking whatever "action" alone? Are you going to be a one-man army? Because otherwise you need to raise awareness and bring people to your side.

By "action" do you mean voting? Are you going to do it alone?

By "action" do you mean blowing up a pipeline? Are you going to do it alone?

Because otherwise you need to raise awareness and bring people to your side.

Taking individual action can be part of raising awareness if done publicly. Riding a bike around your community is an act against climate change, and an awareness campaign simultaneously.
