Nowadays, as people keep on developping, the distruction of environment is getting out of control. The cost to cease the environmental problems are astronomical since it is already going through severe situations. Some might think individuals cannot solve any of the problem and they leave all to the government to solve them. However, I personally think each person can help to reduce the problem. The reasoning is that small change can make a big difference. Also, the issues are not that complex as it seems to the general public.
To begin with, small changes of individuals can change a lot of situation. One step at a time, we can solve each problem. When people start changing, there is no way to stop them since they are like colony of ants which can attact even a big mammal such as buffalo. To illustrate this point, there are a lot of examples about changements people made. Few years from now, the government has decided to regulate number of vehicles on the road. Since then, there are less car on the street in Seoul and people are starting to use public transportation. The reduction of car lead to less air pollution and development of public transportation which made the city more fitted for people to live in. This resolution would not been possible if the individuals refuse to change and kept on with the old ways. Likewise, small step of individuals might seem small at the beginning but on the whole it will all worth it.
On top of that, the environmental issue itself is not a big problem as it seem. Of course, everyone has to join in and help but by making little changes of everybody, it is simple. Basically, environmental issues seem complex and difficult to solve when people don't want to give in. As human being, they want to have profit and it is hard for people to give away their belongings or rights. For example, by just using less water and electricity from each person in the country, they can save a lot of money. Also, when people decide to use less gas, the government can give that saved gas to the one who really need rather than waste them on things that are tedious. All in all, the problems are not actually a problem when you think big.
To summarize, people can change the situation even a complex environment situation since their small changes can change a lot and also the problem itself isn't that serious. As the famous proverb says, "Beginning, It's already half way done." |
