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?

Many people argue that ordinary citizens have limited capacity to bring about environmental improvements, and only

governments

and big corporations can truly make a difference in environmental conservation. I partially disagree with

this

viewpoint, as I still believe in individuals'

actions

. Some people might underestimate the contribution of regular people in environmental protection, and justifiably so. First and foremost, individuals often lack the financial resources to make significant environmental improvements,

such

as transitioning from fossil fuels to green energy. These endeavours may be better suited for larger corporations, given the substantial financial resources at their disposal.

Similarly

, they might

also

lack the power to ensure public compliance with environmental regulations, a responsibility that only

governments

and global organizations can hold. Despite the critical role that government and businesses play in reversing environmental issues, I still believe that individual

actions

can greatly help with environmental protection. As consumers, even small

actions

like reducing the use of non-recyclable materials and supporting businesses that prioritize sustainable practices can contribute to a greener future. As voters, we can elect politicians who genuinely care about our planet's degradation, and remove from office those who are willing to sacrifice environmental sustainability for economic growth.

While

these

actions

may appear insignificant, the collective efforts of everyone can create a meaningful impact, no less important than the efforts of

governments

and large corporations. In conclusion,

although

it is true that

governments

and large companies play a significant role in preserving the environment, l disagree with the argument that individuals are too powerless to make a difference in

this

endeavour. Quite the contrary, through our consumption choices and voting impacts, we can make substantial changes to protect the planet's well-being.
