Individuals can do nothing to improve the environment; only governments and large companies can make a difference. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, environmental protection has become one of the most important issues the public

are concerned

Suggestion

is concerned

with. While some people deem that it is the responsibility of the government and big companies to protect the environment because they hold the

power

and the resources necessary while individuals are too feeble to make an effort,

however

, personally I believe that every individual can make a difference. There is an old saying goes as: ‘Drop by drop fills the tub’.

This

means that individuals do have the capacity to save our motherland if they band together and move towards the same direction.

For example

, if everyone in China saves one piece of paper every day, nearly a million trees can be saved in one day.

Therefore

, we must realize the

power

of each person and shoulder our own responsibility.

Moreover

, the most important thing must be the effect on big companies and factories caused by public awareness and habits. Specifically, environment-friendly

behaviors

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

of the public can largely influence the business strategies of big companies.

For example

, when disposable plastic bags are not popular anymore in the market, the manufacturers will stop their production and find eco-friendly replacements

such

as fabric bags.

Thus

, the

power

of individuals is maximized and makes a big difference.

However

,

that is

not to say we should ignore the responsibility of the government and big companies. Admittedly, in solving some large-scale problems like deforestation and greenhouse effect, the government and big companies should fully harness their technology and

power

to come up with strategic plans. In conclusion, the connection of every part of society

wield

wields

a significant role to protect the environment. Only in

this

way can we assure that we can hand over the planet to our

next

generation.
