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?

Environmental preservation and conservation is of utmost importance as research as shown that environmental factors constitute about thirty percent of the factors affecting investors’ decision in other countries. There has been heated debate as to who is responsible for improving the environment: individuals or government? While I am of the opinion that the bulk of the responsibility should be shouldered by the government, individuals

also

have roles to play. In recent times, academic scholars have come up with a report that the source of carbon emission to the environment is the transportation system which is mostly via the air and road transport systems.

Also

, the disposal methods or amenities in most developing countries are lamentable.

For instance

, in Nigeria, most debris

are disposed

is disposed

in landfills, which are not efficiently managed because speckles from burnt waste still find their way into the air.

On the other hand

, in the course of purchasing groceries, individuals often use more plastic bags that necessary. Another factor associated with individuals is food wastage. Due to the improved financial standings of most families, especially in developed countries, they have the luxury of purchasing and cooking more meals that needed,

increase in lavishness which has

also

contributed to environmental pollution. To conclude, even though individuals should ensure proper discarding of their leftovers, it is expedient that the regulate technologies that are produced or imported into the country,

, they must be eco-friendly.

Similarly

, resources should be channeled to disposing facilities that encourages disposals to the transformed to a form of renewable energy.
