Some people feel that manufacturers and supermarkets have the responsibility to reduce the amount of packaging of goods. Others argue that customers should avoid buying goods with a lot of packaging. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

The problem of pollution is a major one in the modern era, and in the developed

world

people

have been trying to find solutions for several decades. Currently, one of the biggest debates revolves around whether it should be

companies

or individual

people

that bear the majority of the responsibility for

this

improvement.

This

essay will look at both arguments and conclude that

responsibility should be shared.

To begin

with, some

people

argue that major corporations are responsible for fixing our environmental problems because they have profited from reprehensible crimes against the environment for decades. If these

companies

suddenly changed to sustainable, eco-friendly products and packaging, consumers could still continue their normal shopping without having so much of a negative effect on the

world

.

This

would take away the individual’s choice and thereby ensure that everyone contributes to repairing our planet.

However

,

companies

function on profits and generally single-use plastics are cheap, so many of them are reluctant to make the switch.

On the other hand

,

people

can

also

make a difference.

Companies

only sell what there is a demand for, and if

people

start demanding greener products and more responsible corporate actions,

then

companies

will have to comply. If their customers started complaining about or boycotting overly packaged goods,

companies

would quickly change to keep the consumer happy.

people

to make

this

choice, there will be no progress. In many parts of the

,

people

still think it is fine to throw plastic into rivers so they should not be depended upon to make reasonable choices. In conclusion, both

companies

and individuals should take an active role in fixing the damage they have done to the

world

, but neither can be entirely trusted. Everyone should make some positive effort and it would

be helpful for governments to pass laws with serious punishments for offenders who violate environmental regulations.
