long-term imprisonment
and heavy fines, 
on those who cut down trees illegally. However, besides introducing and enforcing new 
laws and regulations, I doubt that there is any further action that politicians can take to 
protect the environment.

On the other hand, I believe that ordinary people, through small, everyday actions, can 
also greatly contribute to protecting the environment. First, citizens in many countries, 
like the Netherlands, have now 
shifted towards
using bicycles and subway trains for 
their daily travel instead of cars, which has so far helped reduce a tremendous amount 
of CO2 released into the air, and improved air quality. Second, the problem of polluted 
oceans has also been tackled in many places thanks to groups of young people who 
voluntarily spend their time cleaning up beaches, or even 
diving into water to pick up 
trash
. For example, many students in Nha Trang, a coastal city of Vietnam, spent nearly 
their whole summer holiday in 2018 keeping the beaches of their hometown clean by 
collecting all the trash from tourists, and even banned Chinese people from entering 
certain areas to prevent them from littering.
In conclusion, I hold the view that politicians alone cannot deal with all environmental 
problems, and therefore individuals should also make a contribution to protecting our 
environment.
