Nowadays many people say that protecting the environment is important, but in real life many people still do not do anything. They only talk about the environment but they do not take action. This essay will explain some simple reasons and also give a basic solution, even if the solution is not very strong.
The first reason is people are too busy with their daily life. Many people work long hours, and after work they feel very tired. Because they are tired, they do not want to recycle, they do not want to clean the neighbourhood, and they do not want to think about waste. They only want to rest. On weekends, many people also want to stay at home or spend time with their family, so they still do not do anything for the environment. Another reason is that many people think the government should do everything. They believe the environment problem is too big, and one person cannot change anything. So they think it is useless if they try, and they wait for the government to solve all problems.
For the solution, maybe the local government can make a simple cleaning programme. For example, there can be one cleaning day every week where people in the same neighbourhood must join. They can clean the road, pick up trash, or clean the drainage. Even if people do not want to join at first, maybe after some time they start to understand that their action is also important.
In conclusion, people do not help the environment because they are busy and think it is the government’s job. But a weekly cleaning programme might help people join and start caring more.
