Some people argue that individuals can do nothing to improve the
environment. Therefore, only governments and large companies can make a
difference. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
Humans are confronting environmental problems that are more taxing than before.
However, the debate over whether individuals or government play the key role in
the improvement of the environment has been heated constantly. In my opinion, that
the government and large companies can make a big deal in protecting the
environment does not mean that the individuals cannot do anything to make it
better.
It is undeniable that significant difference has been made by government’s action.
Almost all top-down policies imposed/introduced by the government about
environment protection has prevented many factories from over-exploiting and
destroying the ecosystem. These regulations are/include those on higher standard
requirements of the emission of manufactures such as heavy metals and toxic,
higher tax on products using disposable materials, or strong punishment on
deforestation. These policies have not only prevented/deterred companies from
devastating the natural surroundings more but also push pressure on them to create
the innovative way to make the environment better. Obviously, many kinds of
renewable energy using natural power, a variety of reusable materials and
advanced waste treatment system has been researched, developed gradually and
applied into real life in recent years. Therefore, it is quite clear to see what
difference the government and large groups can make to the whole world.
However, Individuals are also the main determinant to improve the environment.
The more awareness people have, the more advantageous it is for the
environment. With limited use of private vehicles / by using fewer private
vehicles, each person can help/helps to reduce a lot of fumes, leading to less Air
pollution. By selecting the eco-friendly products, the consumers enable the
suppliers to reduce fossil materials used in manufacturing, resulting in less
exploitation of the earth’s natural resources. Although individuals only make small
changes, millions of people uniting can definitely create significant movement in
the improvement of the global environment.
In conclusion, while I accept that the government and big groups play key roles in
dealing with environmental problems, my belief is that it needs concerted efforts

of both the government, large corporations, and individuals to enable
improvement to our surroundings.
