Scientists and the news media are presenting ever more evidence of climate change. Governments cannot be expected to solve this problem. It is the responsibility of individuals to change their lifestyle. What are your view?

These days, proves of global warming and climate change have been exposed by scientific researchers and means of communication. Governments are believed by some to be unable to take action, and individuals have to protect the nature by changing their behaviours. Personally, I disagree with

this

view, and in my opinion, both of them should join hands together in order to tackle

this

issue.

To begin

with, in terms of the governments, there is a wide range of measures that they can take in search of the best solutions.

Firstly

, since the government has the power to control a whole country, it is necessary to publish strict rules and punishments towards bad deeds which directly damage the environment.

For instance

, those who litter the street, cause deforestation or kill animals have to be punished severely. The

second

action would be to encourage residents to go cycling or use public transportation on a regular basis,

such

as buses or taxis. In doing so, the proportion of harmful chemicals and carbon dioxide emitted from automobiles and motorbikes can be significantly decreased.

Finally

, in order to raise inhabitants' awareness, governments may

also

organise movements and campaigns so that

young

Suggestion

the younger

generation, including students and children, can be conscious and take more notice of the environment. On an individual level, they should have a good grasp of environmental damage prevention. In fact, they have to abide by and execute seriously the regulations of the government.

In addition

, they should

also

reduce plastic consumption by using more eco-friendly and biodegradable products. To illustrate, plastic bags can be replaced by silk bags and iron boxes to carry food when travelling to a place.

Besides

,

instead

of fossil fuel,

such

as coal and oil, citizens can indeed use inexhaustible energy in their daily life, like wind, solar power or waves. In conclusion, I strongly believe that both governments and residents should combine and co-operate together so that they can succeed in limiting climate change, as well as getting access to better environmental protection.
