As long as the cost of pollution from creating the products isn't baked into the cost of the price consumers pay, it will always seem not worth it to individuals. The problem is that we have so much pollution now its affecting us at a planetary level. This is a good situation for the government to come in and mandate a solution instead of letting the tragedy of the commons play out. A better solution might be mandating that pollution costs are baked into the product's costs, but doing nothing is just going to hurt everyone
