Like I said, it's a starting point. If people don't start somewhere then they never start. And then the whole thing is pointless. People don't go from not caring about the environment to Sierra Club members in a day. This serves as an on-ramp, to get people involved.
While I may have foregone a vehicle in lieu of public transportation and pay a premium for Bullfrog Power, you are right that many would not do those things. But you can't start to cultivate that desire for change by dismissing all attempts to get people involved.
