I agree with Bill, every little bit helps.

I suppose you could just give up and run with the polluters, but deep inside 
you know what the RIGHT thing to do is.  That is the test of character -- 
doing the right thing in the face of adversity, not taking the easy way out.  You 
can give up, or you can fight the big polluters -- point your anger and 
disgust at them and try for change.
