In developed societies it doesn't make sense to let individuals solve collective problems.
For instance you might sacrifice flying to save the climate but airlines actually have CO2 quotas. So if you aren't flying somebody else is likely going to take your place because it will be cheap. CO2 quotas will be reduced year by year so flying will get more expensive and you will move from individual sacrifice to market dynamics.
