What kind of effect do I have on the environment individualy?

Do the actions of individuals effect the environment as a whole? I am interested to see many opinions on this, because I don't really know about it. As an example: Do people who drive big trucks really screw over the environtment, or what?

No.

You're just made to believe that by people who are jealous that they don't drive a big truck or SUV

well if you drive a car,lets look at how fumes flow from the mufflers,there are new type mufflers for cars of all types,also consider changing your air filter,look at what type of gas you put in your car.

well you personally depends on how much of everything you do, water consuption, food, littering, recycling. so yea you do impact it in a minor way but as a whole and including everybody in the world then yea that adds up to a lot more good/bad depending on what you use your energy for. easy does it!

one person driving a huge SUV or littering doesn't make a huge difference. However, when everybody gets the mindset that if they only pollute a little it is okay, then all that pollution adds up to a big problem.
