Reducing global environmental damage should be handled by governments rather than individuals. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Global environmental

damage

is the most pressing problem in the world nowadays.

However

, when it comes to tackle the problem, people are divided in their opinions. In many circles, it is argued that governments’ role is crucial in reducing the environmental

damage

, while others put

on individuals’ attempt. While I accept the notion that individuals can reduce environmental

damage

, I believe the governments can play a paramount role in improving environmental

damage

. Environmental

damage

can be slowed and stopped with practical actions that yield a healthier, cleaner atmosphere. Actually, it is up to each of us, as

use, and pay attention to the ways we can save electricity and minimize fossil fuel usage.

, driving a car, heating our room and throwing away trash all lead to greenhouse gas emission that causes environmental

damage

severely. We can reduce emissions through simple actions like switching to

energy

-efficient lighting, improving the efficiency of home appliances, reducing

energy

required for heating, improving vehicle fuel-efficiency, and so on. But, the governments could certainly make more effort to reduce environmental

damage

. They could pass laws to limit the emission from factories and industries and gradually they can force to the companies to use renewable

energy

from solar, water, or wind power.

In addition

to

this

, the government can set forth a national blueprint for a clean

energy

economy. Actually, they can outline a national climate action plan that puts emphasize on several key ways to reduce environmental damages. Apart from that, since environmental

damage

is a global issue, they can work for an effective international climate treaty negotiation so that international efforts can be ensured in reducing environmental damages worldwide. To reiterate, as individuals we can contribute by taking steps to reduce our personal carbon emissions. But fully address the threat of global environmental

, we must need
