Why not? As a consumer I can choose dinner from either beef from burned amazon rainforest, or a ratatouille made from seasonal local ingredients, or anything in between. I can choose to buy a 2-tonne gas SUV or something smaller.
I can choose to participate in “fast fashion”, or choose to buy some of my clothing second-hand.
I can choose a vacation by flying to Greece, or hiking the local area, or anywhere in between.
I can often choose to wait another year to upgrade my phone/computer/device.
Corporations don’t just do stuff, they respond to our actions.
Voting in booths generally works better to affect change in systems like these with externalities, but voting with action and wallets also works.
I do consider that I have a responsibility to act ethically versus other people, and that includes making choices as a consumer.
