But that just wastes the big climate impact that was invested to grow you to adulthood. Now is the time to reinvest in the Earth. Humans can definitely have a net-negative carbon footprint if they work at it.
That's a very human centric way of framing the issue.
There is no environment that need saving. Carbon emissions are merely changing the environment in a way that may not be convenient for a lot of humans.
You're just saving the status quo of human society, not "reinvesting in the Earth".
If by environment you mean species of animals you should worry more about plastic and trash than carbon emissions.
