we are all born into a system that limits what we can do
try surviving in the u.s without a car (gasoline) or shopping at a supermarket where everything is packaged in plastics
we don't have much choice in where our electricity comes from, nor what companies choose to package things in... what individuals can do is tiny compared to those in industry and billions if not trillions of capital to invest and research in better more sustainable methods and materials
also, corporations are in competition with each other which also limits how much profits they can give up pursuing said goals...
our entire system make dealing with this externality incredibly difficult
