Just because they lobby for things doesn't mean that people no longer have any choices.

The corn lobby lobbies for, and gets, all kinds of subsidies. That doesn't mean you're required to eat corn.

that has convinced them that it will affect their lives negatively.

Boohoo. They believed the propaganda, it's not their fault!

A lot of people have to buy that metal box because there is no reasonable alternative

Because their definition of "reasonable" is too narrow. It's slightly less convenient, therefore unreasonable.

And then there's people like you that, when people try to do better, criticize them because they have a infinitesimal part of the guilt.

When have I criticized anyone for trying to do better. What I criticize is people trying to feel less guilty about their selfish decisions by trying to heap all the blame on oil companies instead, like you do.
