Changes need to be made at a governmental & corporate level but individuals actions can help
@9H9RP8B12mos12MO
Obviously individual actions matter but change needs to be made on a government level.
@9HCKBGRFianna Fáil12mos12MO
Both actions together are important; we need all hands on deck for this global warming issue.
@9HB99L912mos12MO
it is entirely a problem for the governmental and corporate level because the top 100 companies produce 70% of carbon emissions
@9HBP2VMIndependent Left12mos12MO
individual actions are necessary for collective actions but government sanctions are needed on corporations
@9HB99L912mos12MO
it is 100% a governmental and corporate level problem. 1 person recycling a milk carton is not going to stop the ice caps from melting
Each individual doing the same actions adds up, and change can only occur if the majority of individuals decide to do so
It is not possible for individuals to change the environment from changing our day to day habits as they are only tiny things that affect the environment. The main problem is big companies destroying the planet and not being blamed or taxed for it.

I think that the entire "You can change the world" attitude is one big scapegoat to deflect and distract from the actions of corporations. The most notable example of this would be the CO2 footprint, popularized by BP, a company that bribed scientists to fake their results and denied climate change for decades. If many people come together, then yes, maybe, but you alone are 1 in 8 billion...
@9QR6JLZ5mos5MO
Big corporations need to be held accountable more than the individual.
@9QQ6LWL5mos5MO
Personally, I feel it's more important to see changes made at the macro-level. Individuals can make all the small changes they can, but while big companies and organisations continue to pollute the planet, it's absolutely redundant.
Government and corporate level and if there’s real change the people will follow
@9PP6GZCSocial Democrats5mos5MO
Governmental and corporate changes will only be made if individuals come together to put pressure on these organisations
@9HBNKLMSocial Democrats12mos12MO
A small bit but I think there is greater concerns out there
@9HC72TG12mos12MO
I believe that most people will change their behaviours more with government incentives and encouragement
@9HBB4GLIndependent12mos12MO
Changes need to come from a governmental level, absolutely.
