Some people say that protecting the environment is the government’s responsibility. Others believe that every individual should take responsibility for it. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

Protecting the

environment

is a crucial responsibility. Its current status is way less than ideal. The depletion of the ozone layer, global warming, desertification, polluted water bodies, polluted air are just some of the problems that the Earth is facing. These problems could reach alarming states, if they are not attended to with a sense of urgency.

However

, the question in the worldwide debate is, who should be tasked with safeguarding the

environment

- governments or individuals? Let’s examine some of the arguments that each has about why the other should be held more accountable. The work involved is massive, involving humungous manpower and costs, which only governments can deploy because of their reach, and financial resources. Another important part of the puzzle

measurements can only be commissioned, installed and used by state bodies. In the absence of the above mentioned actions, preserving and sustaining the

will be impossible.
