面对环境恶化我们应该怎样做?用资金和技术去解决终究没有切入问题的根本。每个人的力量都是渺小的，但却可以有所作为。

　　Some people think that the environmental problems are too big for individuals to solve. Others, however, believe that the problems cannot be solved if individuals do not take some actions. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

　　提纲：

　　环境问题太大，个人看似渺小：

　　需要资金，技术，以及立法等

　　但是，这是短视的，没有看到环境改善和个人生活方式的关系

　　个人可以有所贡献：

　　个人的参与和支持影响环境政策的实施

　　个人的消费习惯影响企业的生产

　　个人的力量结合起来具有巨大影响

　　个人虽然力量渺小，但是可以有所作为

　　范文：

　　Environmental problems, such as global warming, excessive waste production or air and water pollution all seems so overwhelming that individual persons cannot deal with them.

　　This argument sounds reasonable. Addressing environmental problems requires professional knowledge, national legislation, enterprise coordination and many other social resources, and these surely go beyond individual power. As a consequence, not only are the government and large companies blamed for the environment deterioration, but they are also imposed full responsibility for environmental issues. However, this claim is short-sighted, failing to identify the link between what an average person does on a daily basis and the influence he or she can exert on the globe.

　　The challenge of environmental improvement does not necessarily exempt individuals from their obligation. If we insist on prioritizing the private car over the bus or subway, the policy of limiting private car use would be made in vain. When we enjoy the convenience of one-off products such as chopsticks and throw them away with no hesitation, we are actually encouraging mass production of such commodity and wasting precious natural resources. Actually, ordinary people can play a significant role in making the world a better place to live in. We can be an integrated force when we make efforts towards a common goal. Therefore actions should be taken by ordinary people.

　　To sum up, regardless of the arduousness of environment problems, individual people can make significant differences by changing their lifestyles. Without involvement and commitment of individuals, no major change would be made.
