You are angering yourself based on a fallacy. Why do we only need to focus on one area and not others at the same time? It’s not like there’s only one person doing this and they need to pick and choose where they spend their effort. All of us can and should do what we can, that makes a difference locally. A single person of course cannot clean the rivers in Asia, but they can reduce their own production of waste. A saved straw is a saved straw, no matter where on the planet you are. In case you haven’t noticed, we live in a closed ecological system. Food manufacturers use plastic in packaging because it’s cheaper. That’s it. It has nothing directly to do with hygiene, though that might also be a benefit. However, many worry that plastics can leach into the food and affect it, so it’s not used for altruistic reasons.
