There are actions you can take to reduce your negative impact.
For example, you reduce your ecological footprint by reducing or eliminating meat from your diet. In the net it reduces the amount of farmland your existence requires--remember, those animals you eat need to eat things too, and plant -> you is a much more efficient way of converting farmland into sustenance than plant -> animal -> you.

I just don't think that my individual choice does anything when the issues are systemic and entrenched at this point. Whether I buy a pack of sausages a week or not, the grocery store orders the same amount of meat and probably just throws away what doesn't sell, the taco truck buys the same amount of meat whether I go there this week or not. What would do something is if literally everyone in the entire city did it, but that's a fantasy.
