You may find this article helpful in why it still matters:

“My country’s emissions are so negligible, it doesn’t matter what we do. It won’t make a difference”. It’s true: the emissions of many countries in the world are completely dwarfed by a few big players. We see this in the chart below.

Individual actions, while inconsequential, can help signal the market ( eg demand for ev infrastructure) and can add up when combined with federal regulations.
