Onus In America

Global warming continues to have a negative impact on many parts of the world. Some argue that governments should not play a part in improving the situation. However, my personal belief is that individuals and governments both have parts to play in dealing with this problem.

I believe that the onus is on citizens to lessen the effect of climate change, and that they should reduce their carbon footprint in daily life in several ways. On an individual level, people should reduce the use of air-conditioning units, which release copious amounts of carbon dioxide and gives rise to global warming. An alternative is that they should use fans, which are more environmentally friendly. Citizens should be more aware of the use of energy at home.
