At the risk of sounding political,

Lots of companies, organizations, and governments love to post these type of ads. For example, in the Environmental Science field, ads will be posted about lowering the amount of time you drive a car for the environment, or taking shorter showers. Same here too. They place the blame on individual actions, saying the average Joe is at fault for large scale issues such as climate change. 

Don’t get me wrong; individual action does matter. But often times, these organizations love to shift blame from themselves to the people. They won’t ever say that they are emitting 70% of GHG emissions, in comparison to the average Joe. If they truly wanted to save water for LA, they would think about creating large scale desalination plants, water restrictions for industrial processes, fountains, etc. Instead, it’s your fault. Not theirs.

The game over carbon footprint while on some levels well meaning is to distract that China puts out more than all other developed nations combined and has no intention of cutting back.  Same general idea to misdirect.  But I've seen a mental breakdown in a local pizza shop because they didn't have paper straws.
