Task-2


Individuals can do nothing to improve the environment. Only governments and large companies can make a difference. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?


素材库.Read the following essay and draw out the main topic and related supporting information. The following essay was written by Emily Folk, a conservation and sustainability writer and the editor of Conservation Folks.  This essay was first published in ECOLOGIST in 8th May, 2018.


Governments have a far-reaching influence over both their countries and the world as a whole. They can have a hand in supporting the needs of their citizens, and one of those needs in this time is environment protection.


Now, there are campaigns raising awareness about global warming seemingly everywhere. People of all ages see ads on TV and via social media, so they learn not only how their habits hurt the earth, but also how they can reverse that damage and start to help. But are the efforts of individuals to decrease their carbon footprint enough change?


Many people are arguing for governments to take more responsibility for the environment. While there’s always an opposing side, there are some good reasons to hold the government to higher levels of accountability regarding environment improvement. Read on for some reasons governments can make a bigger impact if they take more action to help the earth.


When an individual starts using less water or electricity, that does some good for the earth. Anyone who puts effort into living a greener life makes a difference, but a commercial about melting ice caps isn’t going to convince everyone they should drive less and walk more. There should be an authoritative figure pushing people to change: the governments of countries.


If governments get involved with fighting for environment, they can makea world of difference. British Columbia enacted a carbon tax shift on July 1, 2008, taxing $10 for each ton of CO2 released into the atmosphere.


Between 2007 and 2011, BC greenhouse gas emissions dropped six percent overall, proving the government successfully encouraged big businesses to change how they run, which wouldn’t have happened otherwise.


Furthermore, the government can impact renewable energy in countries. In addition to establishing and meeting renewable energy goals, government taxincentives can make renewable energy installation for businesses and residential areas more affordable.


A person trying to be more environmentally friendly in their everyday life can make incremental changes, but have little way to see what kind of an impact they’re having. How much are they really helping the earth by composting orusing the air conditioning less in the summer?


There’s no real way for a person to measure that, but governments have the resources to create and analyses positive environmental efforts.


To be able to examine global warming on a worldwide level, countries came together to form the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Its focus is to make regular assessments of climate change, determine impacts and future risks and then provide some options for how to adapt to those needs.


These reports then go to the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme, so world leaders can continue to improve global health. A single person — or even a group of people lacking the resources governments have at their disposal —wouldn’t be able to accomplish this goal.


Radical difference


As the leaders of their countries, it is governments’ responsibility to stand up to face the battles their people are fighting, which includes environment conservation.


The flip side of this coin is that when governments start getting involved and working to combat global warming, citizens need to realize the decisions they make won’t be perfect.

No one can provide perfection, but anyone concerned about the earth’s health should want to support a group of leaders with far-reaching influence in their efforts to make more change happen, in addition to the everyday efforts of individuals.
