The environment was relatively clean and health in the past and has deteriorated in recent years. Some people are of the opinion that
this
 problem can be dealt only by governments and industries, whereas individuals have little or no importance to combat it.
This
 essay believes that not only governments and companies should be responsible for solving
this
 issue, but people should be equally responsible for it as well. Individuals play an important role when it comes to make our world a better place to live.
Firstly
, by reducing the consumption of products that provoke damage to nature,
such
 as plastic, people have a substantial contribution to environmental salvation.
Moreover
, citizens should push their governments to implement laws to protect mother nature and consider sanctions for failure to comply.
Last
 but not least, people should stop consuming products which originate from companies that pollute and are not environmental friendly.
Therefore
,
such
 companies should change their behaviour in order to increase revenues. Many cities around the world have invested in public solutions to stop the rapid progress of environmental deterioration and
such
 measures can be very effective. While authorities have set a number of measures that could deter unscrupulous companies to pollute, environmental friendly industries implemented new technology in order to reduce the use of carbon fuels,
such
 as petroleum and coal, reducing,
consequently
, the emission of carbon dioxide, which is the main cause of global warming. In conclusion, public and private have power and budget to should join a "task force" to reduce environment fast deterioration, but individuals are responsible for doing their part, making a better world for the
next
 generation.
