Scientists believe that the world is in danger due to environmental changes. Some people say that personal lifestyle changes should be made to reduce the damage to environment, while others think that the government should do something to help. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Many researchers assert that our earth is in endanger because of changes in the

environment

. While some people contemplate that changes in individual lifestyles would reduce the damage of nature, others contend that governments’ initiatives would help to mitigate

this

problem.

This

essay

firmly concurs with the former rather than the latter standpoint.

This

essay

will discuss both viewpoints before concluding that every person in the world should change his or her way of living to protect the

environment

. On the one hand, some people advocate that to reduce environmental damages, it is paramount to change personal lifestyles, and

this

essay

is in accord with

this

view. The predominant reason behind their thinking is that every day’s activities which have detrimental effects on earth are damaging the

environment

day by day.

Therefore

, without changing those activities or lifestyles, it is impossible to make a better healthy world.

For example

, an empirical study conducted by Cambridge University found that if every family uses a single car

instead

of using vehicles for every family member, environmental destruction could be reduced by 20% easily.

On the other hand

, it is argued by some that the government should take steps to minimise the damage of nature because it is the government’s responsibility to work for the betterment of a nation.

That is

to say, governments should invoke an environmental law to save their country as well as the world.

This

argument might be compelling to a certain extent, but having said that, it lacks the touch of practicality or reality.

This

is because a law can be enforced, but it should be abided by the citizen of a country.

Otherwise

, invoking

this

type of law will not be effective.

For instance

, in March 2009, the Daily Star reported that China had taken many steps to reduce carbon footprint, but no policy worked in

this

country because people were not conscious. In conclusion, even though some people say that governments should take necessary steps to protect the

environment

, the considered opinion of

this

essay

is that change in personal lifestyle is indispensable to reduce the damage of earth.
