Comparison and Contrast

A term often used for people who are deeply concerned with the environment is “green.” The attitude toward consumption of a “green” person’s and that of a person who is not “green” have both differences and similarities.
When they both come across some environment problems, they will both feel uncomfortable and complain about it. However, a “green ” person will take some measure to try to protect the environment, even what he can do will make only a little sense; while the person who is not will look down upon those tiny, tiny efforts and continue complaining.
Those two persons are both concerning about the environment, because they know they need clean living condition. They both consider environment problem a serious issue while the former one thinks it is everyone’s duty to care about the environment and the latter one thinks it is only other’s responsibility to do so.
To sum up, the reason why they hold such different opinions are education. We need to take some measure to let them know that we have a close relationship with the environment. Protecting the environment is protecting ourselves.

Thanks for your post. I like the way you start this paragraph, but you need to elaborate in more detail, using statistics or more details, if possible.

Also, you need to check your language use, for instance, in a situation such as this: "Those two persons are both concerning about the environment, because they know they need clean living condition."

What is the main verb here?

I'm "green" that you have something to write about "green". If you could give a more clear explanation, it could have been better.
