But the problem I’m experiencing is that doing the “best” isn’t helping much at all. It’s like telling people that putting some greens in their aquarium will help their fish while at the same time the water in the aquarium is bleach.

Ok but the problem in this analogy is that collectively we were all pouring bleach into the aquarium, the fix is to collectively stop.
It won’t happen immediately and it won’t go back to where it was for a long time.
Yes there are larger factors at play but this is one of those scenarios where your local action has an actual impact that is noticeable.
You’re not wrong that you alone won’t solve it and the best you can do alone won’t fix it, but doing what you’re doing is closer to not adding your bleach to the fish tank but instead letting it have some water.
