Environmental Topic -- Thank you for your correction~ Topic: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?  Environmental protection is one of the most important challenges almost every country is facing. However, whether only governments and big corporations have the resources and capabilities to preserve our environment is a controversial issue. My view is that, every single citizen plays a crucial role to bring some changes. It is obvious that human activities have had the greatest impact on the environment throughout history. The food we eat, the type of transport we choose and the way we consume as individuals have caused big damage to the environment. So, whoever created the problem should solve it; it is not just the governments’ responsibility. While seemingly powerless, individuals can actually do a lot to make a difference. We can take bus instead of driving private car, conserve on water and electricity, use environment-friendly bags and so on. These are sustainable practices that can create a ripple effect. That is not to say that governments and large companies can not positively contribute. Indeed, governments can enact laws and policies to prevent the pollutions just as what they did for the “APEC BLUE”; companies can promote green productions to change the public’s consuming habits. But they also need every citizen’s response and support to bring good results. In summary, no effort is too small when we are protecting the environment. Meanwhile, governments should carry their weights and help lead the way. This is a problem that affects us all, individually and collectively, its solution must therefore involve us all.
