The recommendations at the end of the article to change individual behavior are a distraction but thankfully the author provided links to three organizations that are dedicated to real policy changes. I clicked through all and found 5gyres.org to be the most promising.
This reminded me of an assignment I had for health class in my senior year of high school to help someone. I chose to encourage another kid in my dorm to go to college after graduation (he wasn't from a family with a tradition of going to college). I would just talk to him about where I was thinking about going and all the different options. By the end of the semester he was talking about going to college too. No idea what became of him, but I like to think I had a positive impact on his life.
I've been using this in CI to build and test my Dockerized app. On GCE billing is by the minute (after a 10 minute minimum) so it hasn't been too expensive.

I finally selected a provider two hours away who publishes their pricing online.
