The environmental issue is too complex to be handled by the individual.
Opinion might be divided whether environmental issue is very complicated to be handled by individual. People from different walks of life may take different stances on this contentious issue.
Personally, i think the environmental issue is not hard thing to be handled by individuals. Yes, solving the environment problem might be tough, but if each person’s effort is gathered, it is going to show enormous positive effects to our society. There are two reasons that could validate my position.
To begin with, people can help the environment to get better with little effort by purchasing eco-friendly products. Internet has changed our lives dramatically. We can just sit in a comfort of our home and buy whatever we want, and just wait for delivery. With this good connection, people can buy various stuffs that made for preserving environment. For example, there is a shoes company named Tom-Tom in Korea. They sell a pair of shoes on 100 dollars, but originally the price of the shoes is 50 dollars. Where will other 50 dollars go? That’s their marketing strategy to contribute to improving our environment. If customer buys one pair of shoes, they automatically donate 50dollars to use for preserving would environment. Also, they sell eco-friendly products that can be recycled and it is not harmful to the environment even if when people throw away the shoes. This clearly indicates that individuals can affect positive impacts on the environment.
On top of that, using transportation is another good contribution for the environment. Cars are under criticism for the depleting our oil supply. 95% of the automobiles use oil as fuel. Moreover, they emit noise and harmful gases that cause bad influence to the environment. Cars are one of leading causes of environmental pollution. With this in mind, if we use public transportation, the number of cars would be reduced and the environment will be greatly improved.
All in all, because of those two reasons I mentioned above, I firmly believe that individuals have enough ability to prevent our environment from contaminating
