Question

about air pollution:

some ppl feel that what they as individuals do is not important, that they cannot do much to address major problems such as air pollution.

others say that the problems are caused by individuals and that individuals can work together to address the problems. Individuals can change buying habits, which will then change the habits of industries; they can drive more fuel efficient cars that pollute less; they can save energy; and they can enact and enforce laws.

What do you think- can the individual make a difference? Why do you think as u do?

thanks a lot!! i really appreciate it :)

Answer 1

One person cannot make a significant difference in a material view.

However the action/motives a person can cause a significant difference if that idea is projected well enough, and enough people support that idea.

Answer 2

Answer 3

if everybody waits for somebody else to do it, then nobody will. so if every individual person does something, then pretty soon it will be enough to make a difference. but if everyone just says that someone else will do it, then no one will!!

and if we don't save the earth then EVERYONE will die =[

Answer 5

It's definitely caused by individuals. If only one individual tried to stop their contribution to air pollution, obviously not very much is going to happen, but if you get every person on the planet doing his or her part to lessen air pollution, it will make a huge difference to the planet. Besides individuals working to make a difference, companies can do their part as well, putting filters and such on their factories to lessen the pollution they produce.

Answer 6

Yes people working together could change alot of issues, but people are selfish, and self centered, think the world revolves around them, buying habit are mainly for show, I know a woman that buys D & B purses she has about 200 of them at $200 to $400 a piece, WOW.  The price of gas is starting to make people think about different car efficience, and go green ideal of most electric companies are starting to make people think about saving power, but laws are going to be broke by everyone at some time or another, big brother watches everyone enough now.  I like saving money on power and gas, plus I recycle.  We all can make a difference if we try.
