When in comes to the environment, each and every person living in it contributes to it. Living in a civilized society, one has to adhere to certian morals, values and laws in order for a society to function normally. That means one should dispose off his/her own trash regularly and also segregate individual components into recyclables and non-recyclables. But beyond that it also means one should be mindful of others' needs and look out for one another while taking others' perspective into account. For example, if an individual's neighbour has certain disabilities, instead of dismissing them, one should be proportionately mindful of them and be helpful. One can only grow when there is mutual trust and respect with one another. While every individual has to play his own part in society and imporving his/her own environment, an individual can only do so much. Governments on the other hand, have a lot more power.
