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?

With the raising concerns about our planet and climate changes, it is frequently argued whether the individuals can bring a change or only huge organizations and government can improve the situation.

Although

, most of the time the hands are pointed towards the later one, I totally disagree with that opinion. I believe that common man can directly or indirectly help in the betterment of the environment.

Firstly

, citizens can take efforts to bring a positive impact on the environment by taking corrective actions as a group. In fact, humans play a major role in damaging the nature and the ecosystem around them by over usage of AC and motor vehicles which pollute the air. Humans are a part of

this

nature, should try to avoid the usage of plastic and other

such

substances.

Moreover

, they must use the natural resources sparingly.

For instance

, a small step to close the water tap when not used can create a dramatic impact on long term.

Secondly

, there are adequate number of policies and regulations imposed by lawmakers globally. As a responsible citizen, it is everyone's duty to adhere to these laws and extend possible support.

For example

, in my country better public transport has been introduced and many laws for car pool has been proposed as a move to reduce the number of individual vehicles on the road.

Moreover

, many large companies and NGOs are constantly organizing activities to save the nature and people can volunteer to make a difference. To conclude, the process of bringing change is a collaborative effort with active participation of government, companies and common men as well.
