Our actions are not insignificant. Everything we do affects everything around us.
Ever hear of the old cliche of a butterfly flapping its wings in Tokoyo causes a thunderstorm in New York. It doesn't seem to make sense but if you really think about it that butterfly is moving the air around it which causes a ripple affect in the air which could be enough to cause a weather system to change course. If little things didn't affect the big picture everything would be predictable. However, because so much stuff is random every little thing that happens affects the big picture.
Although we might not understand it, our actions on Earth could affect the entire Universe in the same way a butterfly can move an entire weather system.
