There are economic policies that can greatly mitigate this. Carbon taxes that subsidize sustainable projects, for one example.

But those are not things individuals can choose directly. Those are regulations and laws that require organization.

Of course, that's a political aim, but individuals can prioritize pro-environment policies in their own voting decisions and personal political advocacy.
