By not buying a Widget, I'm reducing the number of Widgets ordered by one, the number of Widgets produced by one, and the number of Widgets planned for production by one.
Not only that, but I'm eliminating all the materials mining, shipping, re-shipping, packaging, re-packaging, and so on, which adds up to quite a bit per Widget.
I think you are grossly underestimating the impact of one un-ordered Widget.

But I know for sure that every time I spend a dollar on something new, there is a direct chain of multiple events set in motion which does harm to my own habitat as well as those closely related to me.
