It took me a very long time (years) to come to terms with the idea that as a techie I can't do anything to help climate. Tech projects is just an excuse to stay in my comfort zone. A very uncomfortable realization.

Do you not think about living by your values as a matter of integrity?

I don't not steal to stop others from stealing. I don't steal because I don't want to hurt others. If everyone in the world stole, I still wouldn't. If the whole world pollutes, I'm still going to avoid polluting as much as I can.

I am not sure I understand the context of the question. Does my comment somehow imply I don't?

Everyone has power over their consumption choices.
