I can't stand this attitude in environmentalism, that it's better to do nothing until you come up with the perfect, ultimate solution to some environmental problem.

There's nothing wrong with handling environmental problems incrementally.

I can't stand the attitude where corporations think they are "green" if they buy some securities that say they are. This is just a "cost of business" now but some day it will be too late to fix the problem.

Carbon offsets aren't merely securities. You're actually buying power.
