This is exemplary of a problem we come up against time and time again. People latch on to a panacea. The trouble is it's easily debated against and then gets used as a brickbat against anyone trying to tackle the issue.
Any issue of this scale necessitates a range of responses that can be tailored by individuals to suit their own personal needs. Presenting a problem and saying that we should all do X in response will only lead to very swift rejection by the target audience. First you should work on getting that audience to accept there is a problem and commit to personal change to address it, then work on sustainable individual solutions.
