Individuals can do nothing to improve the environment; only governments and large companies can make a big difference. To what extent do you agree or disagree.

The threat to the

environment

is a major issue facing the

world

in recent times. The

role

played by corporate organizations as well as the

government

will determine what success we achieve in preserving the

environment

. I believe all hands must be on deck including each of us to have a lasting solution to the menace.

To begin

with, The

government

has a major

role

to play in ensuring that the

world

is protected. Since they have the power to create rules, they can enact laws that will make it a criminal offence to be involved in any activities that will harm the surroundings.

For instance

, legislation can be made to compel manufacturing plants to cut down the emission of gas into the atmosphere.

Furthermore

, Manufacturing corporations can be encouraged to use sustainable energy like solar power or wind turbines to power their factories and offices.

This

is a practice common in countries like France and other parts of Europe.

In addition

, manufacturers should be advised to use packages that are bio-degradable for their products. With all these measures, the harm done to the

environment

will be reduced to the barest minimum. The job of conserving the

environment

is not restricted to the

government

and large corporations alone. Individuals have a very important

role

to play. In a country like Nigeria where people in the rural area depend largely on wood as a source of energy,

this

habit should be discouraged because it leads to dessert encroachment and heavy flooding during the rainy season.

Also

, individuals should travel less by cars because of emissions. We should encourage other means of transportation

such

as bicycles.

This

will make us fitter and

also

conserve the earth. Our

role

as individuals is to educate ourselves on how we can preserve our

world

and desist from activities that will harm it. In conclusion, when it comes to improving our

world

, it is our collective responsibility to make sure that the earth is safe and habitable. The companies and the

government

will not achieve much success if each of us refused to play our roles.
