Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The environmental issue is
too complex to be handled by the individual.

When it comes to the issue about whether the environment problem is too complex to be handled by the individual, people's opinion differs from person to person, and culture to culture. Some favor that environemnt issue is not complex for an individual. On personal level, I disagree with the attitude above for the following reasons.

It is true that it's our duty and responsibility to protect the environment for any individual. It means that if each of us make little change, for example, bring our own bags when shopping instead of using uncirculated plastic bags, the earth will have a dramatic difference. At the mean time, if we start to carry on a vegetarian diet, there will be less meat demand and thus less grazing land and less supporting water to feed those animals. That's simple step which is easy to handle by the individual. But is it a practical method in the real world? When taking more factors into consideration, as far as I'm concerned, the environment issue is still too complex to be handled by the individual.

The primary element which comes into being is that most of the time, some people have no sense of environment problems and just persue their own convenience and good. As to the situations mentioned above, it seems unlikely to be effective since not all people will change their used actions regarding to the wealth of the whole world. Sometimes people are so selfish and crue. Take my roommate as an example, she is used to leaving the water lap running when doing laungery and goes away to answer phonecall. At a time, I asked her why and she answered that that water is free. Those words really hurt my hearts. But it is resonable to think that way. People say that environment problems and resource deminish are far away from our life and an individual's action hardly has power and impact on such issues. In this way, the environment issue is too large and complicate for individual.

In addition, few legal and effective method for an individual to solve the environment problems on his or her own effort. Environmental issues are universal problems and can't be solved without millions or billions people egagement. As the individual, I can save 1 litter of water one day, walk or bike to school, or eat less meat. But that amount of water and fresh air is negligible compared to the consumption that other people waste. Without the assistance of the goverment, it is almost impossible for the individual to handle or solve the environment issues. Unlike the gonverment has human resourse, finance support and medium publicity, the individual almost has nothing. It's so harsh and rough for an individual.

In short, from that has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that it is too complex for the individual to handle the environment issue. It is not only hard to concious by individual but also little power and resource in our control.
