Individuals Cannot Improve Environment; Only Governments And Big Companies Can Make A Difference

Everyone is becoming aware that the

environment

is becoming a serious issue. There is bad air and

water

pollution everywhere & that the hole is ozone layer is causing cancer.

This

is not an issue which could only be solved by government & big companies. Individuals can create a large impact if they take care of the

environment

in their day to day lives. Individuals are equally responsible for the

environment

. They have to & they should contribute their one bit to protect our

environment

. The

first

and the foremost, individuals can take care of the way they dispose the waste. Throwing away garbage to

water

bodies is a threat to marine life. It is

also

important to make sure that we do not buy goods in

plastic

bottles and cans which add to our waste. As we all know

plastic

is not biodegradable & is a big threat to our

environment

. Tons of

plastic

accumulate every day in every corner of the world. If every one of us take care it, we can make a significant change in

this

situation. Even when we travel to some far destination, we can avoid using

plastic

containers, bags & bottles for carrying our food items.

Instead

, we can use things which are eco-friendly. Careful use of

water

is

also

an important matter in terms of environmental issue. As we all know,

water

scarcity hits most parts of the world. In countries like Australia, immense amount of

water

is being used to wash cars and for swimming pools. The use of

water

can be minimized by using recycled

water

for other purposes, e.g. Garden, toilets, car wash etc. It is

also

important that government and factories can do major things which a single individual cannot by running awareness campaign about environmental issues. In summary, both Individual and big companies together can

this

world a better place to live.
