It's because individual people have no control over what the powers with the nuclear technology do or don't do. We DO have control over our own use of water, how much we waste, whether or not we compost, how much packaging we buy compared to how much food we grow ourselves. We have control over our own behavior.
Nuclear weapons terrify me. But I, as an individual, can't do ANYTHING about it. I -can- re-use my plastic bags, and support local agriculture whenever practical, walk or ride my bike instead of taking my car everywhere, etc. It's not much, for one person to do. But if everyone did even that little bit, it'd make a pretty big impact, overall.
