Great but I already do as much as I personally can handle. Would be great if society at large, e.g. laws, regulations, and big corps, could get on the same level.

Me: dusts off hands Installed solar on the roof, bicycling to work, updated the insulation on all my windows, and drastically reduced the amount of plastic in my life.

Me: Begins flipping through a copy of How To Blow Up A Pipeline
-
Don't blow up the pipeline, that'll pollute the environment! Go for the pumping infrastructure, if you can knock out a pump you can decrease or even completely stop the flow of oil.
-
id guess pumps are more expensive to fix too. but also probably better guarded.
-
eh, I don't think that's gonna make much of a difference:
most of the cost is probably lost revenue from the stopped flow, not the pump itself!
that said you're almost at the ideal target already!
it's best to sabotage the nexus point nearest the pipeline source: that way you knock out the largest part of the network resulting in the most damage by disabling most of the network!
tl;dr: knock out infrastructure as close to the source as possible, that isn't actually the source!
(because sabotaging the source is a really, really bad idea, see: every oil spill ever)
(and for fucks sake, don't do any of this in winter...people might freeze, if there's no time to come up with alternative energy sources...which is why late spring is the best time to blow up a pipeline! :D )
-
"guarded" is usually a fence and some cameras, maybe a locked door. Honestly an easier target than any buried pipeline. Kind of surprising we don't see more ELF action on this front, except for the whole 'get sent to jail forever to make an example of you' thing.

That's what this post is saying. Do YOUR part. That's all you can do.
-
That’s all you can do.
It's not "all" you can do, though. At what point does "eco-terrorism" turn into "justified self-defense?"
-
If eco-terrorism is what YOU can do, then that's what you can do. I can't do that, so I'll do my part as best as I can. I can't save the world alone, so I'll just do my best.
If everyone, including corporations, did their best, we'd be in a better place.

I agree, many of us have maxed out passive improvements. Now let's work on active.
Call your local oil company CEO. Get a job at Exxon and really half ass it. Visit your town government and demand better public transport and electric busses. Take a dump on the nearest gas pump.
Only some of those are jokes and I'm not sure which.

Bad news for everyone who rents their home, and thus doesn’t technically own a toilet :(
