I agree, this isn't a problem that can be solved by a single person's actions. We need large scale solutions, but I'd still caution against the kind of thinking that lets you fool yourself into thinking that your own actions don't have any impact. I hear that sort of argument from people who say "who cares if I throw my trash directly into the ocean or dump my motor oil down the drain! Sure, it's bad but it's nothing compared to the carbon footprint of blah blah blah" yet we've seen how a large number of people acting selfishly in small ways leads to large problems too. I'm not saying you're doing this personally, but it's one thing to call out the unnecessary waste of others, and another to use the actions of others to justify being a smaller part of the problem.
