The environmental problem in the world cannot be solved by ordinary people because they can do little to change the situation. It is the responsibility of politicians. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is believed that only the State should be responsible to combat issues caused to the
environment
. In
this
essay,I will explain why I believe that the
environment
is a responsibility from everyone and
then
how individuals are able to help the system by giving some examples.
Firstly
, the main reason why individuals
also
could help the
environment
is due to household waste. It is known that more than half of the garbage produced around the world comes from families' houses.
Therefore
, it must be considered that if most families had treated their garbage by recycling it would have less littered streets in the world. To illustrate, some countries have proved that when the community is aware of the importance of recycling there is a considerable rising in quality of
water
and air which
also
pave the way for environmental improvement.
Secondly
, people are responsible for saving
water
. It is highly important to raise consciousness about how
water
is the most important source of life.
Thus
, people
also
can help the
environment
by using only a reasonable quantity of
water
which means that they should not waste it by washing cars, pavements and suchlike.
For example
, in the north pole, icebergs have been defrosting at an alarming rate in the
last
years due to global warming, that means that in the future society could face a shortage of
water
. In conclusion, environmental problems are considered as a responsibility from all human beings and not only governments'.
As a result
, each person could help the
environment
by taking single actions
such
as recycling or avoiding wasting
water
which would definitely help the
environment
for the
next
generations.
