Two wrongs don't make a right. And if your neighbour is dosing the neighbourhood with gasoline while wildfires are on the horizon, you smack him, you don't go and get your own can.

Agreed, but this is like comparing your neighbor burning 1 million acres to you having a bonfire. The scale is the problem. We should absolutely take individual responsibility; however, our small impact is only felt when we band together.

It is also offset immediately when unregulated corporations use the saved energy to sell us the next dumb thing.

It is not offset. If you bend together you don't buy the next dumb thing.

Bending together is the only thing that can create change, billionaires won't.
