It is not that I approve of these things, it is not that at all. But I just don't believe raising awareness will help at all in the long run. Global leaders can do what they can, but in truth, the ones that have to change are the global companies. I mean, yes, individuals can do something to change around their neighborhood.

But when you see a factory, you can either do two things: let it run and let smoke and dust pour out in the sky, or just close it and let many people become unemployed. Third option would be to install one of them devices to filter out the smoke, but: will the owner of the factory be willing to do that?

I'd say this is what one could call ideals - things we want to, but cannot be achieved. For there are many restrictions that do not allow such things to be progressed, whether religion, money, law or some unknown issue.

So to sum up, I doubt this awareness just won't work in a long run.
