Who is buying the products from those corporations though? I totally agree that the problem is caused by corporations but afaik there are only two ways to get them to make better choices: governmental regulation or avoid buying products from the bad offenders. Regulation can only go so far when all the companies have factories in another country. Individuals need to avoid buying products from those companies and shift to the ones that are more environmentally conscious, but that means having an informed populace that has extra money to spend, so we’re fucked.

I'm surprised it's that low. In the US, at least, men drive ~60% more than women (which is also the real reason that car insurance costs more for men).
Men are also heavily socialized (and propagandized) to believe it is manly to eat lots of meat.
