问题     Some people think that individuals can do nothing to improve the environment, and only the government and big companies can make a difference. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
选项
答案     Environmental issues have long been a concern for many, and today, no one would deny the importance of protecting the environment. As for how to achieve this end, I think it calls for collective actions from individuals, big companies and the government.
    It is true that some environmental problems people are facing today may seem too big for individuals to address alone, such as climate change, the energy crisis and so on. Consequently, many people have the misconception that only the government and large companies have the authority, funds and manpower to solve them. Unfortunately, such an attitude is merely something that stems from ignorance or illusions of inadequacy.
    The fact is that without individual efforts, any rules and regulations or large projects designed to improve the environment will without a doubt end in failure. So individuals’ participation is necessary and actually irreplaceable along with the actions taken by the government and big companies.
    More importantly, all the seemingly little things people do in daily lives can, when added up, make a huge difference in contributing to solutions; for example, recycling household waste, reducing energy consumption such as water and electricity and taking more public transportation rather than driving around in private cars. Obviously, if more individuals start to make a change in their daily lives, a brand new environmental status quo might come into existence.
    In conclusion, I believe it is a comprehensive task to tackle the environmental problems, which needs the coordination and cooperation of individuals, enterprises and the government, even at an international level. But if one thing is certain, it is that any efforts would be less effective without individuals’ involvement.
