people
hold the opinion that individual action
can do nothing. Others say that governments can do something only if some action
is taken by individuals. This
essay shall discuss both views.
There are many reasons why some people
say that people
cannot do anything for the environment at the individual level. The first reason is the lack of professional knowledge needed to cope with serious environmental issues like soil erosion and salinity, which require a significant amount of investigation and research. Another obstacle which makes individual action
almost impossible is when an environmental emergency or accident happens such
as an oil spill near the border line, which would necessitate government
or even international coordination.
On the other hand
, those who say that even governments cannot do anything unless individuals cooperate, give their reasons as follows. Firstly
, if government
enacts laws for the betterment of the environment, and individuals don't cooperate, then
there would be no results. For example
, in India, there is a strict ban on the use of single use
plastics, but Add a hyphen

to be useful.

So, in conclusion, when it comes to environmental problems, individual actions are indispensable in the problem
solving process. But the most pressing and complicated problems go far beyond an individual's capability and so require the concerted effort of the government
