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?

It is a common belief that citizens can not do anything to improve their mother nature and it is only governments and large companies that can make the solutions to protect the

environment

. From my perspective, I completely disagree with

this

statement for several reasons. The main reason why I believe that individuals can do plenty of things to help the

environment

is that they can lend a helping hand to recycle discarded items

such

as plastic bags, papers, containers, clothes, cans. In fact, doing

this

can help us to reduce a great deal of daily throw-away stuff and

thus

improving the city landscape.

For instance

, I was carefully taught by my mother to seize every possible opportunity to recycle and reuse daily stuff and

therefore

, I have a habit of doing

this

.

As a result

, I can decrease the great amounts of plastic items discharged into the

environment

.

This

leads to a positive effect on our mother nature. Another argument that should be considered is that city dwellers can participate in some useful activities to better the habitat. To be more specific, they can make a contribution by cleaning the streets and their near surroundings. It is just a small way to promote the

environment

but if everyone on

this

planet joins hands to engage in these activities, there will be a big difference. In conclusion, I strongly believe that everybody in the world can do various things to increase the

environment

' quality because of recycling stuff and engaging in cleaning activities.
