Protesting, what's the point?

I enjoyed this article and hope you do as well. It points to a dilemma we all face; environment vs lifestyle. We can accuse Shell of destroying the Nigerian Delta but again there are interests in that country that profit from it so it goes on. We can say tar sands development is not good, especially for our aboriginal brothers and sisters up north but will that stop us from pumping gas? (I personally haven't used Shell gas since the murder of Ken Saro-Wiwa an Ogoni activist along with 8 others Nigerian activists (read story here).) ) So is there a point to protesting? I agree with authors conclusions about this issue, do you?
