How can we empower individuals and businesses to take ownership of their environmental impact while still holding them accountable for sustainable practices?

One way to empower individuals and businesses to take ownership of their environmental impact is through education and awareness campaigns that highlight the importance of sustainable practices. Providing incentives and rewards for those who implement sustainable initiatives can also encourage ownership. Additionally, implementing regulations and policies that hold individuals and businesses accountable for their environmental impact can ensure compliance with sustainable practices. Collaboration between government, businesses, and individuals is essential for creating a culture of responsibility and accountability towards the environment.
