Individuals can do nothing to improve the environment; only governments and large companies can make a difference. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The

environment

is always a hot topic to discuss. It is argued that only

governments

and business tycoons have the ability to improve the

environment

,

while

individuals

can not do anything. In my opinion, I partly disagree with the statement as

individuals

can contribute much effort to protect the

environment

. It is a fact that each person can only make a small contribution to protect nature, but

individuals

who live in the same place could make significant changes. The contribution of the whole community is the sum of each person, which can be a game-changer factor.

For instance

, people can save water by turning off the faucets when not using them, or by switching off devices to save electricity or cleaning up the public place together.

Furthermore

, people can raise awareness of the community by launching campaigns about the

environment

.

However

, the role of

governments

and companies still can not be negated. Regarding contributions of the big organisations,

governments

and large companies solve the problem on a large scale. They can have protection laws for the

environment

, or strict regulations in recycling procedures in manufacture, which are obeyed by the whole community. The

governments

and big business tycoons can have full use of their powers to shield the

environment

.

Thus

,

although

governments

and large companies can make huge differences, the contributions of

individuals

are not negated. In conclusion, I believe that both

individuals

and large organisations can make big changes to improve the

environment

.

Moreover

, they should cooperate in order to protect the

environment

in the best way.
