Some people think environmental problems are too big for individuals to solve. Others, however, think that those problems cannot be solved unless individuals take some actions. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

There are controversial ideas heating up a debate over who should be responsible for

However

. In the past few decades, mankind has experienced many serious environmental problems

as global warming, prolonged droughts, violent storms

other extreme weather phenomena. And in order to be able to provide solutions to these major existing problems, the government needs to be at the forefront. Governments are those who have enough economic and political potential to be able to make decisions that affect the perceptions and actions of the majority, thereby leading to more positive changes in environmental issues. Currently, there are countries that have introduced environmental

policies

such

as Taiwan, which has pledged to eliminate all single-use plastic products by 2030, and Sweden, which has decided to recycle 99% of its waste. Through that, these policies have changed a lot in the consumption habits of the people of these countries thereby contributing to making positive changes to the

For example

, recycle more, limit plastic and dispose of garbage in the right place, to name a few. Only when each individual is conscious of his or her actions can the general

of society be changed.

For example

, if farmers continue to burn forests for their own purposes, despite government regulations, the

of climate change will never be successfully mitigated. In conclusion, environmental damage is a serious

that countries in general and each of them individually

Therefore

, environmental issues will never be effectively resolved.
