Individuals can do nothing to improve the environment. Only governments and large companies can make a difference. What extent do you agree or disagree?

It is argued that making a change in an

environment

could only be done by big organizations and authorities while the citizens has little or no

role

to play in improving their surroundings. Personally, I tend to disagree with

this

view because individuals ensure cleanliness of the

environment

and

also

pay their taxes regularly to keep the economy running effectively. Some people opine that governments and big companies are solely responsible in protecting the

environment

. Perhaps

this

is because the officials provide

infrastructure amenities

Accept comma addition

infrastructure, amenities

such

as good road networks, the creation of schools and hospitals, which will help to improve the lives of the populace.

For instance

, having a standard medical facility might help to combat unwanted diseases and germs in the

environment

.Companies

,

Accept space

,

however

, might help to create more jobs to reduce unemployment rate in the country.

For example

, a well known business tycoon in Nigeria, Aliko Dangote, opened his refinery and was able to employ more citizens of the country.

This

has helped to reduce the high rate of unemployment. So, these could be the reasons for

this

school of thought.

However

, I do not support that individuals have little or no

role

to play in improving the

environment

. Even though governments has its

role

to play, every individual should probably have numerous ways on how to improve the

environment

and

also

make it habitable for them.

Firstly

, they should ensure regular cleaning of their surroundings, because they have direct contact with it.

This

might help to eliminate diseases or an epidemic outbreak from the

environment

due to the inability of the viruses or pathogens to strive in a clean

environment

.

In addition

, in order to reduce air pollution, individuals can curb their use of fossil fuels in household equipment and automotive. Unless we invest in renewable energy from solar, water or wind power, global warming might have a significant impact on our planet. So, these are the reasons why I believe individuals have a

role

to play in their environments. In conclusion, while government sector and huge industries protect their

environment

by creating jobs and ensuring good amenities are available, it is logical to say that the populace of its environs should be actively involved to ensure cleanliness of the surrounding.
