Also, once again, people appear to be accidently confusing localised pollution and planetary levels - it's like saying why bother having clean tap water since the sea is so salty; if we don't start somewhere, we may as well give up (imho).
As a noted philosopher once said -
"if not you, who?
If not now, when?"
We can't (imho) ignore the problem and hope it goes away. I have kids, I would like them to enjoy the planet.

I control my kids behaviour
I dont drop litter
I dont steal
I do recycle
I keep the emmisions on my vehicles within guidlines
Sea water isnt palatable (IMO) Neither are the taxes we have to pay.
