[讨论]有关环境保护的论点和论据 2、“it is unrealistic to expect individual nations to make, independently, the sacrifices necessary to conserve energy. international leadership and worldwide cooperation are essential if we expect to protect the world’s energy resources for future generations.” “指望单个国家独立地做出必要的牺牲来保存能源是不现实的。如果我们希望为下一代保护世界的能源资源，国际领导力量和全球性的公司是基本的。”
13、“responsibility for preserving the natural environment ultimately belongs to each individual person, not to government.” “保护自然环境的责任完全属于每个个人，而非政府。”
2、 Position: Emphasis on the overwhelming importance of international leadership and worldwide cooperation for the purpose of energy conversation does not necessarily contradict with encouraging individual nations to make voluntary and independent efforts to protect energy resources.
A: Left to their own devices, individual nations, like people, will act according to their own short-term motives and self-interest.
B: The problem of energy crisis as well as the solution to it is international in scope.
C: However, when individual nations become aware of the importance of the preservation of their domestic energy resources as well as the interdependence of nations in term of energy consumption and conservation, they are very likely to make consicous sacrifices for the good of their own national interests.
13、 Position: Although individuals' voluntary actions are necessary for environmental preservation, I insist that governmental participation plays a more important role in this campaign.
A: Individual or private companies tend to pursue their short-term private interests, which has been the direct cause of environmental crisis.
B: Government possesses the authority and resources necessary to address environmental problems.
