Individuals CAN have an impact but in most cases the important changes come from govenrment or corporate decisions.
@9HCCVDZ8mos8MO
Is important both as individual and a corporate level because we can start with ourself and after we can see the changes.
I think the most important is, first, for actions to be implemented at a government or corporate level because it sets an expectation and example. If these were not in place and instead individual actions were the only ones taken, the changes would not be seen on an impactful scale.
@9HBL7K38mos8MO
I feel as though both groups can do more to help with the enviroment. Just me alone is not going to help
@9HB3MV28mos8MO
Your actions not only determine how many GHGs you physically put in the atmosphere, but also, perhaps more importantly, your words and actions influence others.
@9H9RB5L8mos8MO
I believe both the government and individual actions have an impact, but the government more so.
@9H9X82JConservative8mos8MO
yes individual reactions can impact the envitonment
@9HBC5FT8mos8MO
I think that everyone should be taking part in helping the environment. We all release wastes everyday and some people even litter. I think that there should be a fine for littering if caught and that the government should also find a way to produce less trash, carbon, and other emissions.
@9HBNVY3Conservative8mos8MO
I think it is more important for changes to be made at a governmental level as this encourages people to make individual changes.
@9HBQ2D28mos8MO
I think that individual contributions count but that most of the progress should be done by the government.
@9HCMW678mos8MO
As individuals our changes do very little. Hugely populated countries such as China are the major polluters.
@9H82FB78mos8MO
It is more important for changes to be made at a government or coporate level because there needs to be enviromental laws to build a sustainable enviroment.
@9HBMYC88mos8MO
it more important for changes to be made at a governmental or corporate level
@9HBDT878mos8MO
It can be both depends on who the single person is
@9HBCVCK8mos8MO
I think that everything should be sorted into green bins, garbage and recycling to make sure we don’t increase non needed pollution.
@9H9QP5V8mos8MO
It is possible if a person has enough public leverage and has their own power gang or association.
@9H9TJ8K8mos8MO
Individuals should be in control of how they affect the environment and that the government should change it too because they can have a large affect on how the environment is changing.
@9H9T9D28mos8MO
I believe individual action have an impact on the environment. All the individual acts build up over time to become a big impact.
Changes at government and corporate level as even with individuals won’t be enough to make a change.
@9HB42J58mos8MO
I believe both the government and individual actions have a significant impact on the environment, however the government more.
Individual actions have a smaller impact on the environment compared to big corporations. I believe that the government should take more control and change.
@9HBJZMC8mos8MO
Both, both are good because one person can change more than just them they can change there hole family then that family will talk to another family and therefor changing that family basically spreading not a disease but a better environmental view.
@9HB67G58mos8MO
i think that indivicual actions all together can make a significant impact to the enviorment
@9HB3VYD8mos8MO
more important for changes to be made at a governmental or coporate level
@9HB7R2Q8mos8MO
government level but more and more individuals the farther it will get.
@9HB52R5New Democratic8mos8MO
Individual actions can help a lot and could have a very good impact on the environment. I don't believe that it should be a governmental issue unless it gets out of hand.
@9HC2ZFW8mos8MO
It is important for both individuals and corporates to make actions,
@9HBY8MV8mos8MO
I believe that everyone combined makes a difference.
its more important for changes to be made at a governmental level
@9HBY7BD8mos8MO
I believe both the government and individual actions have an impact, but the government more so.
@9HCCPVG8mos8MO
Each one of should have a role in protecting the environment,not just the government
@9HBP2GL8mos8MO
I feel that it's more important for changes to be made at a corporate level because everyone has there own opinion
@9HBH2Y68mos8MO
I think it has an impact on the environment because your actions do affect and change something that you do.
@9H9RMMV8mos8MO
It is unrealistic to imagine people will mobilize against climate change without government or corporate change. Single people of course cannot make change without immense activism.
@9HCMD298mos8MO
This should be the responsibility of business and industry
@9HBT66C8mos8MO
i think changes should be made with government or corporate level because one single person won’t create problems
@9HBYT888mos8MO
The changes from the individual are far too small to make a great impact within a certain time period. The biggest problem lies in corporations and government and therefor they should be the ones expected to make and be held responsible for the important, heavy changes
@9H9VHH3Conservative8mos8MO
yes the person is responsible for tasking care of the environment and the government should support them
@9HCF5ML8mos8MO
I do not think one individual can even scrape the surface of fixing the climate crisis.
@9HBBRVPNew Democratic8mos8MO
I believe individual actions don't have a significant impact unless if it's done regularly.
@9HCGMCT8mos8MO
I think changes need to be made on a larger scale because big companies impact the environment the most.
Every little bit helps, but I think the biggest changes need to be made at a corporate and governmental level, as those have the most impact. But I still believe it’s important for everyone to do what they can
@9QSYXP93wks3W
Both individual actions and systemic changes at the governmental and corporate levels are essential for environmental impact.
Individual actions:
Encourage personal responsibility and awareness
Governmental and corporate changes:
Create frameworks for long-term, structural change
@9QSYQCS3wks3W
I think that individual actions are a good start to making change, but I also think that in order to make a bigger difference these actions should be encouraged by the government of in schools.
@9QQVYPL3wks3W
Yes no matter what individual actions can have a impact to the envirenment like any other actions could.
@9QQVKZB3wks3W
Yes, because a select few individuals, such as Taylor Swift are responsible for most of the carbon emissions.
@9QQMRLD3wks3W
No i believe people outside of the government have and should have a lot to say as they are out of the restricted environment
Individual actions can have a significant impact on the environment if everybody as an individual is doing it, so obviously people have to make small changes to their lifestyle to reduce emissions. On the other hand, larger changes (switching energy sources) has to be done at a governmental/corporate level, so both have a large impact, but larger changes from governmental/corporate level will have a larger impact because it doesn't depend on people willing to change.
@9QQJ3YRNew Democratic3wks3W
The government needs to make changes to prevent hurting the environment.
@9QQGGYJ3wks3W
Individual actions may not have profound impact on the environment, but if everybody does them, it can make a difference.
