Many people believe that in order to have clean and tidy streets in their neighbourhood, this should be the residents’ responsibility, while others think it should be the government’s duty. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Cleanliness is essential to our lives if we must remain healthy. But many suggest that to maintain a clean

householder

must take the initiative to clean their

environment

. Others,

however

, suggest that the

government

should be responsible for environmental sanitation.

This

article will discuss both views and explain while both opinions should be considered equally. It is often said that "health is wealth", so every householder must ensure that he/she keeps the

environment

clean,

this

is because it's an important aspect one must consider in order to remain healthy and maintain good hygiene.

For example

Suggestion

a few years

ago in Zimbabwe, approximately 5-10% of people living in the country died

as a result

of cholera, which was caused by uncleanliness in the foods and water that was being consumed each day.

This

disaster could have been avoided if personal proper measures had been taken as regards environmental sanitation to ensure the safety and health of every individual.

Therefore

, residents should take proper care of themselves

first

by keeping their

environment

clean and tidy before relying on the

government

. The

government

also

has a massive part to play in

this

aspect. It is the responsibility of the

government

to make sure the citizens remain healthy,

this

can be done by providing financial support to

such

environment

to help keep it tidy, and

also

by employing workers in

such

environment

. In conclusion, I think as long as it is the responsibility of the

government

to supply financial means as regards

environment

sanitation, every individual must ensure that cleanliness of the

environment

must not be joked with, if healthiness must be maintained.
