I agree that two of the big problems are industry and population- but the things you mention are things governments must do something about, and if governments aren't willing to do it, then the only things the individual can do are those things the individual as control over. We could just run wild and consume rampantly because we can't interest government (at the moment) to do much- but if we make a personal commitment to environmentalism, we are more likely to think about it on a daily basis, and influence other people, and if we influence enough other people then someday government may get interested in the problem. That is more than feel-good, imo.
