There has been a raging debate about whose duty it is to ensure our environment is clean and tidy. A certain school of thought is of the opinion that residents ought to be responsible. Others,
however
, say it is the
government
's duty. In my opinion, the people should carry out
this
task.
This
essay will discuss both views and my opinion. On one hand, supporters of the
first
view
above say humans should have that role because our activities are responsible for garbage and trash in the
first
place. If we did not drop refuse indiscriminately, our cities would not be untidy. The onus
therefore
lies with humans to do make sure waste is properly disposed.
For example
, despite the bin bags and cans abound people still litter the roads. I agree with
this
view
and say we should made to do more about cleanliness.
On the other hand
, those with a contrasting
view
opine that
government
should be accountable owing to the fact that it has the powers to implement and enforce waste management programs, unlike individuals. They believe that with
government
's pool of funds it can provide cleaners and trash collectors in every area. England,
for instance
, there are cleaners stationed at major roads to pick up refuse and
this
means the people responsible for the waste are not sanctioned or advised to desist. To sum up, despite the contrary
view
noted I say the citizens should have the responsibility of keeping our areas clean and tidy. The
government
is advised to embark on creating awareness and educate people on the benefits of a living in a cleaner and serene society.
