suggest everyone is responsible. We can have a brief description on both the views and I could suggest my personal opinion as well.
Firstly

having their share in emitting the CO2.
Secondly

change the mode of transport to use the railway as a major replacement, which could considerably reduce the pollution.
Likewise

, another part of the world has taken steps, to bring down the effect. Population in a less count suggest that, it is the country's leadership, who should implement and monitor the emission. They have a valuable reason, as far as the industry concern, contribution from the heavy industries are in majority. I think, it is acceptable and individual have nothing to do with the reduction activities.
For example

, in the China, manufacturing plants are enormously developed and common people have no data on the development, because it happens at the cost of environmental effects.
Finally
Linking Words
, in my opinion, the government's contribution is widely appreciated and to support them, everyone should act as a volunteer and be a part of the nature saver.
