I've been recycling, downsizing and cutting waste the last thirty years, all the while industry just moved around to sidestep legislation, in a two punch combo of increasing the local cost of living and destroying the local economy, so fuck that, effort done here had been worthless globally and damaging locally.

The "you" in my comment is intended at country level. It basically means: your elected representatives.
It's true that individual actions to help the climate may not help a lot, immediately and in practical terms, if there's no bigger policy movement.
Then again, seeing that people are willing to take costly individual actions is a strong signal to elected representatives that their electors care about this stuff. So it still may not be worthless.
