America is one of the leading contributors to the problem of global warming. We consume most of the world's energy supply, and we also waste more than any other country in the world.
Can saving the world we live on from turning into inhabitable land, with a scarce drinking water supply, be left up to consumers? Or, do government and industry need to lead the way?
If you feel that government should lead the way, then should government require that manufacturers produce and package goods only with materials that can be recycled, in ways that are easy and accessible to every consumer, and in such a way that does not further contribute to the problem?
Or, if you feel that it should be left up to individual,s then how can we change the way we consume, and how can we change the way in which consumable goods affect the environment?
