Your opinion could be heard by the government by protesting because it can get attention by the media and blow up and get the governments attention.

In theory, the most effective way to have their opinions heard by the government is through voting, but one vote might not have that much of an impact in the grand scheme of things. Citizens can also participate if they run for office. If enough people have confidence in them as a candidate, then they could govern based on those opinions.

American Citizens can get involved in the process of government and protecting the environment by voting for representatives that align with their values on the environment. They can also contact their representatives and tell them about issues that need to be addressed by the govt.

Social media is most likely the most effective method of being heard because of how quickly it spreads.

Voting, most likely. While not as precise as some of the other options, it's far easier to be heard and received by those who actually make the decisions.
