Many people say that they believe it is important to protect the environment but make no effort to do anything about it themselves. Why do you think this is the case? What action do you think individuals should take to protect the environment?

There is countless information on global warming, but giving action about it might be a tiring and long process. For

this

reason, only a few individuals are integrated to act for the environment's protection. In fact, there are several methods we can do to contribute to

this

action.

People

tend to enjoy their life and choose to live their life as easy as possible.

This

mindset somehow let us procrastinate, including in making a movement to save our earth. The effort to protect our planet is a difficult and tiring process.

For instance

, decluttering our clothes might take hours of our day and we will need to do it during the weekend when some

people

prefer resting to decluttering.

Furthermore

, the result of

this

process will not show up instantly, it takes years to centuries, and

as a result

, it is not an enjoyable activity for some individuals. Contributing to our environment can be started from a small effort

that is

begun by ourselves as an individual.

Firstly

, we can do the 3R movement which is an acronym of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Again, recycling may not be an enjoyable activity, but if we can execute reducing and reusing, we will need to recycle less.

Secondly

, taking care of the energy usage in our home appliances might help as well.

For example

, turn off the lamp when not in use, turn off the water tap when we are brushing our teeth, etc.

Thus

, our small actions can slowly develop to be a habit. As part of a community, we can

also

contribute by forcing the public in our community to join the activity. Government and Employers play a big role to

rule

a massive community. They can make a

rule

to force

people

,

such

as a

rule

to eat in company's canteen where they do not need to use plastic for taking away food.

Hence

,

people

have no other way except to obey the

rule

. In summary, realizing that taking care of our environment's problem is crucial, but without taking action it is never enough. We need to execute those ideas and begin it by giving small effort yet consistent.
