I do believe the biggest impact would come from regulating large companies and billionaires, but it’s not one or the other.

100 companies/corporations are responsible for 71% of all greenhouse gas emissions. Unless the "simple changes" are "abolish capitalism and give these polluters the corporate death penalty" then there's jack shit you can do to have any appreciable impact beyond not having kids and convincing everyone you know to do the same. Because if the human race goes extinct there will be nobody left to pollute.
