雅思写作优秀范文精选：环境问题谁来解决

英语自学网

　　It is true that our tiny individual actions often seem
insignificantcompared to the scale and complexity of global environmental
problems such as pollution, deforestation and depletion of natural resources.
But that does not relieve our duty as individuals to do as much as we can to
deal with these problems。
        　　Individual actions, small as they may be, can sometimes prove more
effective than we realize. We can avoid driving the car, and take public
transit, walk, or bicycle instead. This will reduce the use of fossil fuels and
cut pollution. Saving energy at home, like turning on the air conditioner only
when we have to, or turning water heater down a few degrees, is also ultimately
good for the environment. Individual actions can also turn into united powers
when, for example, the whole neighborhood is mobilized to participate in a local
campaignto oppose environmentally damaging policies。
        　　There are, however, obstacles that stand in the way of individual action
towards environmental conservation. The first obstacle is the lack of
professional knowledge needed to cope with serious environmental issues like
soil erosion and salinity, which requires a significant amount of investigation
and research. Another obstacle which makes individual action almost impossible
is when an environmental emergency or accident happens, e.g. an oil spill or a
nuclear leakage near the border line, which would necessitategovernment
engagement or even international coordination。
        　　So, in conclusion, when it comes to environmental problems, individual
actions are indispensable in the problem solving process. But the most pressing
and complicatedproblems go far beyond an individual’s capability and so require
the concerted effort of the government as well as the global community。
