Environmental issues indeed are one of the prevalent phenomena nowadays which results in polarized

Fix the agreement mistake
opinions
show examples
 among society. Many people believe that either
government
 or every individual is responsible for protecting the natural
environment
.
However
, I believe that there is a dire need for both parties to take collective assertiveness to safeguard the natural
environment
.
To begin
 with, it is often argued that the
government
 should implement strict laws and penalties to safeguard natural
resources
.
Thus
, it should impose heavy duties and taxes on the extraction of natural
resources
 and encourages the use of renewable sources of energy like solar, wind and hydro energies.
However
, it is
also
 argued that individuals must protect the
environment
 by limiting the unnecessary use of natural
resources
 which are plaguing our planet. Activities like wastage of natural drinking water, burning of fuels, deforestation and excess hunting by humans are rapidly outpacing the planets ability to absorb those damages which result in the increasing the rate of deterioration globally.
Nevertheless
, I believe that it is the dire responsibility of both the
government
 and every individual to take collective measures to protect our natural
resources
.
Government
 policies and rules are incomplete and ineffective if it is not implemented and supported by the individual.
For instance
, the
government
 has made a strict law against the usage of plastic bags in Delhi.
However
, people are least bother about the hazardous effects of plastic on the
environment
 and
thus
 they use it on a large scale. After analyzing the above scenario, it is not very hard to come to the consensus that it is not only the responsibility of a single stakeholder but
instead
 both
government
 and individual must protect their
environment
 by taking radical actions.
