Environmental issues have become
one
of major concern in society over recent years. A number of people think that
one
of the roles of the politicians is to ensure that people feel accountable to the environment due to their actions. I partly agree with
this
view and
this
essay will discuss why taking the
responsibility
of citizens is ultimately important and why the cooperation between the
government
and citizens is equally important.
On the
one
hand, there are a few major factor which affects negatively the ecosystems and the habitats, and should feel accountable for the environmental protection. Human activity, which is undoubtedly
one
of these factors, has had a negative impact on the planet.
For example
, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, human activities are largely responsible for an increase in temperature around the globe, primarily due to carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions.
Therefore
, the administrators should make people responsible for their actions on the environment.
On the other hand
, despite the fact people are the main
responsibility
of the environmental protection, saving the planet for our future generations requires a collective
responsibility
.
In other words
, the
government
, which is the most effective and powerful instrument in society, and have the authority to implement laws related to the environment, can play an important role.
Moreover
, the
first
of the steps which the politicians should take is to collaborate with citizens.
For instance
, the
government
can invest in eco-friendly technologies
such
as electric cars so that people can quickly adapt these technologies, which reduce the level of carbon dioxide releasing from diesel and petrol cars.
Hence
, the
government
should take its own responsibilities by collaborating with its citizens.
In conclusion, humanity has a collective
responsibility
to save the world where is the only habitat of the humanity.
Although
I agree that people are essentially responsible for human activities
such
as releasing carbon dioxide to the nature, I think that the
government
is
also
equally responsible for environmental protection to save the future of the planet.
