For those who complain without taking action, why?

Yea I've never really understood this. I understand that personal action is no where near as impactful as actual government changes but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna try doing stuff to help atleast a little bit. I'm vegan, I use Reusable shopping bags/waterbottles, I buy local and fairtrade produce/chocolate/etc, I will be getting an electric car soon, my home is powered with renewable energy, this is the stuff that I am easily able to do and I'm thankful for it. But I also recognize that alot of people can't just do this stuff, but i still encourage people to do what they can and to vote for the correct people and policies that will make change happen even quicker.
