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?

It is often argued that preserving the

environment

is beyond the power of individual citizens, and that only be effectively impacted by the authorities and huge corporations. I strongly disagree with

For instance

, if each person in a large city chose to walk or take a bus

instead

of driving for one day a week, the reduction of air pollution would be huge. While it is true that one person acting alone cannot make much difference, many individuals taking the same action can have a dramatic positive impact.

Furthermore

, the actions of individuals can

influence governments and corporations, due to the fact that people have power as both citizens and consumers.

For example
