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

Nowadays humanity is facing many unprecedented environmental issues, that, according to some folks, cannot be solved by the public, and only those who have a certain power can solve them.

These measures, obviously, are impossible to be taken by individuals.
