Do you believe that individual actions can have a significant impact on the environment, or is it more important for changes to be made at a governmental or corporate level?

Is important both as individual and a corporate level because we can start with ourself and after we can see the changes.

I think the most important is, first, for actions to be implemented at a government or corporate level because it sets an expectation and example. If these were not in place and instead individual actions were the only ones taken, the changes would not be seen on an impactful scale.

I believe both the government and individual actions have an impact, but the government more so.

I feel as though both groups can do more to help with the enviroment. Just me alone is not going to help

Your actions not only determine how many GHGs you physically put in the atmosphere, but also, perhaps more importantly, your words and actions influence others.

I think that everyone should be taking part in helping the environment. We all release wastes everyday and some people even litter. I think that there should be a fine for littering if caught and that the government should also find a way to produce less trash, carbon, and other emissions.

I think it is more important for changes to be made at a governmental level as this encourages people to make individual changes.

yes individual reactions can impact the envitonment

I think that individual contributions count but that most of the progress should be done by the government.

As individuals our changes do very little. Hugely populated countries such as China are the major polluters.

It is more important for changes to be made at a government or coporate level because there needs to be enviromental laws to build a sustainable enviroment.

it more important for changes to be made at a governmental or corporate level

It can be both depends on who the single person is

I think that everything should be sorted into green bins, garbage and recycling to make sure we don’t increase non needed pollution.

It is possible if a person has enough public leverage and has their own power gang or association.

I believe individual action have an impact on the environment. All the individual acts build up over time to become a big impact.

Individuals should be in control of how they affect the environment and that the government should change it too because they can have a large affect on how the environment is changing.

Changes at government and corporate level as even with individuals won’t be enough to make a change.

I believe both the government and individual actions have a significant impact on the environment, however the government more.

Both, both are good because one person can change more than just them they can change there hole family then that family will talk to another family and therefor changing that family basically spreading not a disease but a better environmental view.

Individual actions have a smaller impact on the environment compared to big corporations. I believe that the government should take more control and change.

i think that indivicual actions all together can make a significant impact to the enviorment

Individual actions can help a lot and could have a very good impact on the environment. I don't believe that it should be a governmental issue unless it gets out of hand.

government level but more and more individuals the farther it will get.

more important for changes to be made at a governmental or coporate level

I believe that everyone combined makes a difference.

It is important for both individuals and corporates to make actions,

its more important for changes to be made at a governmental level

I believe both the government and individual actions have an impact, but the government more so.

Each one of should have a role in protecting the environment,not just the government

I think it has an impact on the environment because your actions do affect and change something that you do.

This should be the responsibility of business and industry

I feel that it's more important for changes to be made at a corporate level because everyone has there own opinion

It is unrealistic to imagine people will mobilize against climate change without government or corporate change. Single people of course cannot make change without immense activism.

i think changes should be made with government or corporate level because one single person won’t create problems

The changes from the individual are far too small to make a great impact within a certain time period. The biggest problem lies in corporations and government and therefor they should be the ones expected to make and be held responsible for the important, heavy changes

yes the person is responsible for tasking care of the environment and the government should support them

I do not think one individual can even scrape the surface of fixing the climate crisis.

I believe individual actions don't have a significant impact unless if it's done regularly.

I think changes need to be made on a larger scale because big companies impact the environment the most.

Some individual actions do have a larger impact, when compared with the population. But other issues need the government and corporate level's help.

I think that if you look at everyone who helps the envirourment together it makes a smaller difference but its a bigger difference the longer time passes, the more people the sooner the bigger the difference.

I think that individual actions can have an impact.

Change is more noticeable at the government level.

While individual actions certainly have an effect on the environment, they are not as significant as changes implemented at governmental and/or corporate levels. There will always be someone or some group that won't be willing to do their part, so it's best to ensure that as many groups as possible begin changing their habits. There is always strength in numbers.

I think that individual actions can make a significant impact on the environment for sure but there needs to be changed made at a governmental level for sure

both actually, individual needs to be aware from their side and do as best as they can to protect the environment. Government on the other hand must stricter the rules to protect environment.

I feel like the government can’t make any changes because without individuals nothing will be done.

no, we should not help the environment, as climate change is inevitable. We should instead focus on public transit

Individual actions can play a part in the fight in the climate crisis. However it is obvious that the small ripples of the many will not be able to account for the tidal waves of the few. Our only hope is that the tidal waves lift us up and carry us the right way.

Individual actions when done in numbers can of course make an impact. However, this doesn't mean that governmental/corporate changes can't make a similarly large - if not bigger - positive impact on the environment.

I personally think that it is more important for changes to be made on a governmental level, because the environment is a worldwide problem, and one person can't change the world. Even if a group of 1000 people together wouldn't be able to change pollution, exterminate the use of fossil fuels and all the other environmental problems in the world.

I think individuals can have an impact but I think it's more important for changes to be made at a larger level. The majority of emissions are coming from large corporations, not individual people, so they're the ones that need to be better regulated.

A small action of an individual would be considered nothing to the whole problem but many individuals doing the same thing can have a significant impact on the environment. While individuals can help even if it's minute, it is up to the government and the corporate world to take bigger actions that would allow a significant progress that would encourage individuals to do the same.

Absolutely not. Most emissions arise from corporations taking advantage of the monopoly brought along with late stage capitalism, and use recycling campaigns to fool the public into believing they can make a difference. It is the responsibility of the government to regulate these companies and reduce emissions by providing better power alternatives such as nuclear energy.

Individual actions can have a lasting impact, there are many ways to help the environment but our current government is not doing that.

Individuals and the government can make changes. The government should be doing there part just as much as everyone else, by simple things like recycling and composting.

Government, it’s hard for one person to make that much of a change

I believe them both to be equally responsible, with corporate leaning on having more of an effect.

The government and corporations are the reason the climate crisis has reached such a critical point

It needs to be a combination of both or else it will never work.

Individual actions are just as important as the actions of a government or corporation. Environmental issues cannot be fixed without one or the other

Every little bit helps, but I think the biggest changes need to be made at a corporate and governmental level, as those have the most impact. But I still believe it’s important for everyone to do what they can

Both individual actions and systemic changes at the governmental and corporate levels are essential for environmental impact.
Individual actions:
Encourage personal responsibility and awareness
Governmental and corporate changes:
Create frameworks for long-term, structural change

I think that individual actions are a good start to making change, but I also think that in order to make a bigger difference these actions should be encouraged by the government of in schools.

Yes no matter what individual actions can have a impact to the envirenment like any other actions could.

Yes, because a select few individuals, such as Taylor Swift are responsible for most of the carbon emissions.

No i believe people outside of the government have and should have a lot to say as they are out of the restricted environment

Individual actions can have a significant impact on the environment if everybody as an individual is doing it, so obviously people have to make small changes to their lifestyle to reduce emissions. On the other hand, larger changes (switching energy sources) has to be done at a governmental/corporate level, so both have a large impact, but larger changes from governmental/corporate level will have a larger impact because it doesn't depend on people willing to change.

The government needs to make changes to prevent hurting the environment.

Individual actions may not have profound impact on the environment, but if everybody does them, it can make a difference.

I think that individual actions can have a significant impact on the environment. However, I think the government should still take action.

Yes, individuals working within the free market will always be more effective than government regulation

I think if everyone closed the cycle of waste within their homes, through green hobbies they enjoy, that it would help the environment drastically. That said, the planet is being destroyed by companies for profit. Not citizens.

I believe that a governmental and corporal level of environmentalism dictates individual actions of environmentalism.

Due to economies of scale, waste at the government or corporate level will always outpace waste at the individual level.

It is important that actions are performed by large groups of people, regardless of status.

Individual actions do nothing. It is significantly more important for changes to be made at a governmental and corporate level.

Both are needed but individuals should and need to change their ways of conducting themselves. Limiting your personal use of plastics and pollutants is critical

While yes I believe impact on the environment can be done on an individual level, I think that a bigger impact can be made on a government level such as putting more responsibilities on the corporations and enacting laws and regulations on private jet use.

governments and corporations are the ones who will make the biggest impact on our environment

Yes it does impact individual actions based on how they treat their environmental surroundings and what their values including awareness reflects on their respect for Mother Nature. However this needs to be both in a governmental and corporate level because it is very important to prioritize the safety of living mammals all around us and to strongly support geological and geographical preservation of the region in order to keep our country livable and sustainable.

Governmental and corporate level. Particularly in China and India, who are the leading contributors of pollution world-wide.

It's more important for changes to be made at a larger scale.

Changes should be made at a government or corporation level

Drastic top-down changes need to be made for individual actions to have any meaningful impact

Your actions not only determine how many GHGs you physically put in the atmosphere, but also, perhaps more importantly, your words and actions influence others.

i feel that i have a personal responsibility for the environment

It is more important for changes to be made at a governmental or corporate level.

It needs to be made at a cooperate/government level to create laws and restrictions to protect the environment.

Unfortunately not enough can be done individually

Western individualism is an interesting thing. I personally feel it’s been used to trick the general population into removing the blame from the larger corporate polluters and taking it on as something that can be solved on an individual basis. The sad reality is there is very little that someone on an individual scale can do compared to what is done on a massive corporate level. There needs to be widespread systematic changes for enough to be done.
