> what can an individual actually do about it?

Get politically engaged with organisations that are demanding systemic change

EDIT: I don't see what is negative or controversial about this suggestion. The commenter says they cannot do the right thing because of how the system works and what options it makes available to them and at what price. So in that case we must all do work to change the system. The market is currently dictated by many different policies and legislation, causing most things you buy to be artificially cheap or expensive in one way or another. We can change this through policy or other means to make carbon products more expensive -- driving more expensive while clean transit is cheap, inner city housing cheaper than suburban sprawl, etc.

I will never have enough money in my entire lifetime to out-politic Google for one year, let alone the oil industry for the remainder of my life.

  Rise like Lions after slumber
  In unvanquishable number--
  Shake your chains to earth like dew
  Which in sleep had fallen on you--
  Ye are many -- they are few.

Getting involved can take other forms than just giving money. And even whatever little money you can give, if multiplied by others who care, can help.

There are ways to demand systemic change outside of the lobbying umbrella.

Luckily you shouldn't need to do those things all by yourself.
