yes that's correct, there is nothing you can personally do that will make a measurable difference to making the planet a better place. You're wasting your time. Even collective action is probably doomed. There are just too many humans on the planet.
In 1500, the world population was 460million. That is probably a level that the planet can indefinitely sustain. We're at 8billion now and we're fatally addicted to fossil fuels. Buying local and taking a bus to work are not going to save the planet.
