Is it responsibility of individuals to change their lifestyle to prevent climate change?

Nowadays, climate change becomes an earth-shaking issue among people around the world. Especially, experts are worried about the consequences of global warming

such

as the rise of sea levels and deforestation. American environmentalist Bill McKibben said: “We’ve been given a warning by science and a wake-up call by

nature

; it is up to us now to heed them.” So is it our responsibility to preserve our

nature

?

This

problem is a global topic so if we desire to reduce that, it is impossible to do that through just one individual's action. One of the most toxic causes is generating electricity and heat by burning fossil fuels. It produces greenhouse gases that blanket the Earth and trap the Sun's heat.

Therefore

, governments around the world should take action.

For example

, they can motivate people to use renewable energy and develop their countries' technology that generates eco-friendly electricity. If these ideas were adopted, I expect that it will become a temporary matter.

However

, the government has done it, there are plenty of causes that are related to individuals' actions. The world's population is increasing rapidly and it has just reached 8 billion. Because of that,

nature

could not provide for our consumption. So, in order to turn down pollution, we have to control our utilization by lessening the usage of transportation, food waste and recycling old things. If individuals

also

change their lifestyle in

this

way. At least, we can achieve results by reducing the amount of electricity, food and consumer products that are wasted. To summarize, only government activity could not solve

this

issue because individuals are the main group which has a great impact on

nature

. So I think it would be efficient if people act decisively to prevent

further

damage.
