▶ Your Answer :
Currently, environmental problems can be a key issue in modern society. Some people think that most environmental problems are not too complicated, individuals can do many things about them on thier own, while others think differently. Both arguments may have their own reasons to support their ideas. I believe that individuals can do nothing about most environmental problems for the following two subsequent reasons.
First of all, individuals are incapable of coping with complex environment issues. This is because many people today are living in a world of meritocracy where only extremely qualified one can survive. Therefore, they suffer physically and mentally from tight schedules and highly competitive environment. Thus, there is not much one can do to solve environmental issues. In my case, I tried to join the project or events for protecting environments problems, but I didn't have enough time and money to participate in these activities since I had to a lot of things to do for my study and part time job and other things.Therefore, I think that individuals can not be able to solve these environmental problems.
The second reason lies in the limit of the present technology and the complexity of environmental issues. Without government's protection, even a tiny element of pollution will by all odds accumulate to a dangerous degree that will eventually cause a serious damage to the envrionment. Therefore, it is important for government to protect the environment since individuals cannot do anything effective for this issue. Recently, I watched one news about environmental problems in one city. The citiznes tried to solve the problems but they didn't get a financial support from government and the probelms could not be solved by current technical skills. So they can not do anything for these problems. Therefore, without goverment's help and more advanced technology, individuals have a limit coping with environment'r problems.
As explicitly and logically elaborated above, I agree with the statement that becuase most environmental problems are too complicated, individuals can do nothing about them on their own.
