Environmental problems should be solved by the government instead of individuals and private companies. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Environmental protection is no doubt a major issue confronting the modern society with the development of new technologies and the explosion of world population. While the issue is certainly relevant to each individual citizen and all the companies, some people contend that only the

government

should be concerned about protecting the

environment

. I concede that the

government

should lead the efforts in addressing the environmental problems.

Nevertheless

, cooperation and participation from the corporations and individual citizens are essential as well. There is no doubt that the

government

is the agency that should play the leading roles in solving the environmental problems.

To begin

with, with the power to collect taxes from individual citizens and private companies, the

government

have

has

the financial resources that are necessary to deal with environmental issues.

In addition

, the

government

may formulate policies to provide incentives for the companies and individuals to reduce the amount of pollution caused by their activities.

Finally

, the

government

is the only institution that may enact laws related to environmental problems.

On the other hand

, without the cooperation and participation of individual citizens and private companies, the

government

's efforts to protect the

environment

would not be effective.

For example

, the

government

may launch a campaign to educate the public about the desirability of driving compact cars for reducing the air pollution. The campaign would make little difference if the individuals pay little attention to the information or do not care about the

environment

at all. Nor would the

government

's goal be achieved if the car manufacturers do not produce more compact cars

for

Suggestion

in

the market.

In other words

, the

government

alone cannot solve the problem of

environment

Suggestion

environmental

. It takes the collaborative efforts from individual and corporate citizens to improve the situation. In conclusion, I agree that the

government

should take the responsibility to lead the society in addressing the problems of environmental pollution as it has the power and resources necessary to do so.

Nonetheless

, individual citizens and private companies have to be engaged if the

government

is to accomplish anything.
