Regarding action towards change

I am a Junior university student pursuing a degree in neurobiology. It was only within this year where I truly started educating myself on the climate and how we have been affecting it. Since I've started, my frustration grows more and more and I feel like a sitting duck.
To those I talk to they say "why panic, you can't do anything about it just focus on your day to day".
That sort of mindset seems to be what fuels our constant descent into further worsening the fate of this planet and only benefits those profiting off of our blissful ignorance and yearning for convenience. My heart aches and I feel like I want to cry when I think about the indifference so many hold and worse the lack of care from those in power.
I come here asking for a brain storm. What can I do on my campus? I will be trying to live as green of a life as I can in my day to day but I mean what have you seen others do to help. I want to help positively impact the climate and the cause one way or another. I've seen Harvard students who created a news letter which shared updates regarding global moves in climate but I couldn't find any links to sign up to it or see it's status. I will likely start by talking to some of the specialists in my institution considering it prides itself on it's environmental sciences. I'm so stressed about this these days but I don't want to sound like an overrighteous ass who overestimates their abilities. I just can't stomach any of this anymore and a blind eye simply isn't an option.

Despite where we are at, I believe we can persevere with the proper care but it absolutely depends on us people as a whole.

This post is a whole mess but thank you for reading.
