On the one hand, it makes it really hard to stay motivated with the teeny contribution I make to reducing emissions.
On the other, think of how much of a difference these 57 companies could make if they actually reached net-zero targets.

I feel that too, but counter it with some good old Taoism:

"A good person is the bad person’s teacher. A bad person is the good person’s task."

It's ok to be the good person who sets an example, you are still making a difference. Stay motivated friend!
