Many people believe that in order to have clean and tidy streets in their neighbourhood, this should be the residents's responsibility; while others think, it shoud be the government's duty. What is your opinion?

There are those who think that protecting surroundings is the responsibility of individuals. While some feel that the

government

has the pivotal duty in

this

. To me, both points need to come together due to their each importances. On the one

hand

, it is not undeniable that conserving the neighbourhood is a matter that everyone should concern about. The reason is, the environment is built by its people, if they want it to be clean and tidy, they have to make efforts to protect it;

otherwise

it will be a mess with the big problems.

People seem to think that it does not matter to litter because they don't realise the value of the environment. It could be seen that cleanliness of the surroundings depends on individuals' act.

Therefore

, people need to have an equal responsibility as the

government

government

plays a significant role in sustaining the environment. As an authority,

the government

could frame suitably policies that influence positively to people's acts in preserving ecosystems. They can create stricter laws to cut down the number of litters, or encourage the factories changing their location from urban areas to rural zones for decreasing the damaged effects of the polluted air, so on.

For example

, it is not an obvious thing for Singapore to become the cleanest nation in the world. With the severe law of environmental protection of

(fine up to $1000 for smoking in public places, $300 for littering small items in the

time, etc.).

Thus

, each citizen compels to do that as a duty and obligation. With regards to environmental issues, I reckon that the duty of

government

and residents should work
