Some people think there are not many things individuals can do to resolve environmental problems, while others believe that in order to tackle environmental problems individuals also need to take action. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

In recent years environmental pollution has become a major issue concerning

individuals

all around the globe. Some are of the opinion that there is not much that could be done by normal citizens to sort out

this

problem.

On the other hand

, some believe that solving environmental problems starts with

individuals

. In

this

essay, I will be discussing both views and why in my opinion fixing environmental issues are a much bigger problem than ordinary

people

could tackle.

To begin

with, the ones with the opinion that

individuals

can do so much to solve environmental problems based their argument on the fact that human beings and their practices are the cardinal reason for

this

matter.urbanization, destroying animal and plant habitat , fossil fuels ,

carbon

emission. All of that has contributed to pollution. A recent study that was conducted in the UK showed that almost 60% of the world's pollution is because of wrong human practices.

However

, there is little that could be done by

individuals

to overcome

this

issue.

On the contrary

, there are plenty of things that governments could do to resolve

this

issue.

firstly

. doing an awareness campaign that educated

people

about environmental issues and how small things

such

as separating the trach could have a tremendous impact on our environment.

Moreover

, introducing penalties to industries that exceed the legal amount of

carbon

emission.

Also

increasing the petrol price and improving public transportations will decrease the number of

people

using vehicles.

Therefore

,

carbon

emissions that come from cars will be limited.

For example

, in 2018 the Swiss government raised the oil price which forced

people

to use other forms of transportation and

this

has led to a decrease in

carbon

dioxide emission . In conclusion, environmental issues are way too big of a problem to be solved by

individuals

alone, governments and citizens should join forces to overcome

this

major concern.
