Explain some of the ways in which humans are damaging the environment. What can government do to address these problems? What can individual people do?

Environment protection has always been a moot topic. For their own benefits, humans are damaging the environment on a large scale. To conserve the natural resources of the country, the

government

should come up with certain measures.

In addition

to

this

, individuals should

also

protect their surroundings by not misusing the resources. Natural resources like

air

,

water

, oil, wood are being exploited by humans for their own interest. Human activities are one of the major contributors to

air

pollution. The carbon dioxide emitted by vehicles harms the

air

.

Moreover

, the organizations release harmful gases in the habitat, which makes the

air

hazardous for humankind. Other ways are burning of crackers and fossil fuels and indoor activities like painting supplies, which emit toxic chemicals.

Furthermore

, people contaminate the

water

bodies as well. Factories discharge their

waste

into

water

bodies.

Moreover

, there are individuals who dump rubbish in inappropriate places,

such

as the rivers, which makes rivers toxic to marine life and eventually kill them. To fight from the harmful measures of mankind, the

government

should impose heavy penalties. To exemplify

this

, the

government

has banned the digging of

water

tanks to avoid the misuse of ground

water

. Another recent measure taken by the

government

is banning crackers. Another way is to improve public transportations. Reliable and clean public transports will encourage people to use them,

instead

of using private cars. We, as an individual should

also

take part in protecting the environment.

Firstly

, by discouraging deforestation. One should plant more trees to promote cleaner surroundings.

Secondly

, individuals should reduce household

waste

.

For instance

, people can use cloth-made-bags

instead

of plastic-made-bags when shopping.

Thirdly

, people should use more public transportation and if possible, walk more. To sum up, people damage the environment with the high usage of private cars and industrial

waste

, and by throwing rubbish. The

Government

can solve these problems by imposing penalties and enhancing public transport system. Individuals can

also

help by lessening their household

waste

and travelling by mass transports and walking.
