Some people think that environmental problems should be solved on a global scale while others believe it is better to deal with them nationally. Discuss both sides and give your opinion

In our world today, many issues pertaining to the environment continue to negatively impact us. While many believe that these problems ought to be resolved on a global level, it is considered by others that a domestic approach is more beneficial.
Although
tackling environmental problems globally reaps massive results, I personally think that working through matters on a local level
also
contributes to the success of saving our planet. Those who argue that global interventions serve our earth in a better way have a point. Many groups of nations are contributing to the current environmental crisis.
For instance
, developed countries are more responsible for increasing earth temperatures than others and in order to confront
such
a huge concern, joint efforts are required

making the process more collaborative. Not only will there be cooperation of states but
also
the involvement of diverse international bodies that can have great opinions on a lot of these matters. On

globe in which we live, finding solutions to environmental issues begins on a smaller scale. The national government knows best how to tackle its own domestic problems. An obvious example of
this
is the establishment of better public transport policies which significantly reduce congestion on the roads and toxic exhaust emissions from vehicles. Just as the government does its part, the citizens take responsibility for their actions as well. Take recycling,
for example
, where proactive local residents reuse materials and objects to help save our planet by lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
This
is why I think domestic efforts have a huge part to play in finding solutions. In conclusion, while some maintain that either an approach by the nation or a large-scale approach is better, I am of the view that the solutions to matters concerning our planet desperately need a combination of both to make the world a better and safer place
