How does not buying plastic disposable items/meat make a difference?

Question

This might seem like a stupid but aren’t they already made, waiting to be bought by someone else? How does not buying something make a difference?

Also there’s only so much room to put the plastic. Only a tiny fraction gets recycled and then if it is recycled it can only be recycled max a few times before it’s trash. Landfills start to overflow and as we’ve seen the little bits that don’t get properly contained break down into tiny pieces and get into everything from the ocean to food to water
