I need help creating a thesis and an outline on What Can Individuals Do to Help Protect the Environment and Why. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. Consequences will be very bitter if every person living in this world does not start to care about the very land they are standing on.

“Why should I contribute?” is a dangerous question. Nobody is blaming any particular person for the explicit damage caused to our ecology. Yet, every person is to be blamed indirectly for not acting on time. Each person, whether male or female, poor or rich, educated or illiterate, should start contributing their own share to environmental protection just for the sake of preserving a place to live for their children. Saving millions to buy a villa for your child by digging mines extensively is similar to trying to fly by jumping atop a cliff. It might create an illusion of flying for a few minutes but will end up in serious injuries shortly. The house might stay strong and comfortable for a few days but will get destroyed by self-induced natural calamities in a short while. The simple answer for “Why me?” is “because it is for you.”

Environmental protection does not mean protesting against atom bomb alone. It is the simple act of using every natural resource wisely. Understanding the importance of every natural resource we use from water to oil will help us contribute our share automatically. Just placing an empty bottle in the toilet water holder will help save one bottle of water in each flush. Recycling the wastes of any house, town, or city in large will make a great difference.

The UK recycles nearly 40%1 of all domestic rubbish. Most of the items thrown out are glass, used paper, cardboard packages, and covers. Recycling these materials constantly eliminates the need to cut down more trees. Recycling one tonne of paper saves nearly 17 trees and the ample amount of water necessary to produce virgin paper. This is equivalent to stopping 5 million cars from operating every year. Imagine the enormous positive effect these measures have on the atmosphere of the city and country as a whole. A simple step taken by the government authorities and the compliance of every citizen with its rule has made a herculean task possible easily (Environment, n.d.).
