Nowadays, environmental issues have become bigger and more crucial than at any time in the past. Some believe that authorities, large firms and manufacturers can play a fundamental role in reversing the detrimental damages done to the environment while ordinary people have little to contribute. From my perspective, although the governments and large companies must take immediate actions regarding saving the earth, people and their lifestyle and awareness can be beneficial to a great extent.

No doubt, the earth is confronting devastating threats, and it is imperative to take some radical moves immediately. First of all, authorities should dedicate a large amount of budget to improve the public transport infrastructures and enact some restrict regulations and laws regarding usage or ownership of private vehicles. They generate a considerable volume of greenhouse gases, which are considered the main culprit behind global warming. Secondly, it should be compulsory for companies to be based on renewable resources of energy for their productions. Also, they should limit their productions to the proportion of demand because mass-production not only threatens the natural resources but it also primarily responsible for endless rubbish and harmful pollutants that overwhelmingly harm nature.

In addition to the actions required by the government and organisations, people need to be active in saving the mother planet. One of the most important approaches for that is waste separation by people. If they separate the biodegradable and non-biodegradable garbage from the origin, from homes, they will effectively reduce the recycling strain, which is profoundly time, money, and energy-consuming. Furthermore, the more they raise themselves and consequently their children's awareness of the environment and how crucial it is to be preserved, the more world will remain healthy and sustainable.

In conclusion, the governments and large companies must initiate immediate and radical operations for the sake of earth's survival, and people still can play a significant role in diverse aspects of the earth's well-being.
