I 100% agree with you. All the carbon I save in my lifetime cannot compare to what's emitted by an airline company flying empty planes just to reserve their airport terminals. https://www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/travel/2022/04/the-scandal-of-ghost-flights-are-empty-planes-haunting-our-skies
That said, I can't save the world, but I can save my tiny corner of it. Maybe I'm just a yard fence against a dam breaking flood, but something in me compels me to try. I'm not gonna lose sleep over the tiniest shred of plastic I trash instead of recycle, but I will do my best.
