That's part of what you can do. The other thing that helps is to tell others about what you've been doing and why, in the hopes that they will make the same choices for the better that you have made.
If the preferences of the American consumer change, companies will react sooner or later. But what you need for this grassroots change to happen is an educated consumer base - and that's something neither the business community nor the government seem to be interested in developing.
