Can the Occupy movement do anything for the environment?

Does the Occupy movement hold any hope for advancing environmental policies in the US? Again, the question arises: what power does our government have when corporations control the government? Is reclaiming the government from corporations a necessary first step?

Check out this recent article:

"I've been arrested four times now and I'll get arrested 1,000 times more until we see some change," said Barry Knight, a 44-year-old actor from Massachusetts. "We're fighting for nothing less than the future of our country. Do you want your kids to grow up in corptocracy' or in a democracy?"
