Can individuals make a difference? Absolutely. Each of us can modify our personal consumption, advocate for global sustainability and equity, contribute time and money, and more.
One of the main role of individuals is acquire the knowledge to be an educated about environments of nation.
Being educated is important part of individual action. For example if the person find out products and services advertised as ‘green’ or ‘eco-friendly’ the person can support them
After the individual learn more about rainforests and the plants and animals that live in them. Then they can tell others why rainforests are important.
Beside that, always reduce power and water usage. This is because much of the electricity we use is fueled by the combustion of fossil fuels which can contribute to global warming.
Next the individual should not support and buy the product that made by wildlife skin.
If all the individual did not buy the product made up of wildlife skin, It'sdiscourage the killing of endangered animals and rainforest species. Gently remind locals that it is illegal to kill such animals and seems like rather see the colorful macaws flying in the sky than having their feather on souvenir.
The individuals also should not buy exotic pets that have been collected from the wild.
The individualscan ask pet stores whether animals are "wild-caught" or "captive bred.“"Captive-bred" animals are more friendly for the environment.
Always recycle and reuse as many materials as possible. For example the individuals can recycled and buy the recycled paper.
Did not buy wood products from country unless knew they come from eco friendly suppliers. A good way to know if wood is rainforest-safe is if has a ‘certification label’ is FSC-certified which means the wood comes from sustainable managed forest.
The individuals should stay informed and be aware of newly threatened areas and new developments in conservation methods, along with campaigns against forest destroyers. Numerous resources exist on the internet and in print.
Join a biodiversity conservation group or rainforest organization and support campaigns and boycotts against companies responsible for reckless deforestation
If the individual resolve never to purchase goods from one of these firms, the company loses tens of thousands of dollars of potential revenue over the course of a life time.
If have the ability to travel abroad, practice eco-tourism and support only environmentally friendly travel in areas that are environmentally sensitive.
Just because a tour is advertised as "eco-tourism" it does not mean that it is environmentally sound. Ask around and try to find those operators who are legitimate. When traveling, try to be a responsible tourist and respect local customs.
Each individual should have self awareness so that it can help in preservation and conservation of environment.
All of those role mentioned should be take by each of individual to ensure our environment will be preserve an conserve.
