17. What do we mean when we say 't hink globally, act locally' in relat ion t o 2 points

environment al problems?

Global environmental problems are essentially issues which need to be solved by

international negotiations, and in the interim individuals must take care to protect
themselves from any adverse consequences produced for them by these
problems. incorrect

Environmental problems have to be thought about at a global level in order to get

an accurate idea of the total problem facing us, but these problems are essentially
produced by our activities as individuals and firms at a local level, and it is at this
level that we must focus our responses. incorrect

Extensive research and thinking has been carried out by global-level research
organizations about the causes of environmental problems, which have produced
possible strategies and actions which can be applied at a local level. incorrect

While these problems, as we experience them in relation to sustainability issues,

are produced by processes operating at a global level, we all have a role to play in
our local context in making individual and collective responses, as communities
and companies, which will help ameliorate the effects of these problems. correct
