Some people think that current environmental issues are global problems and should therefore be dealt with by the government while others believe that these problems can only be tackled by individuals. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

The current environmental issues are a

problem

which the entire world is facing simultaneously.

However

, there are sections of society who believe that

this

is more of a government

problem

, whilst others believe that

this

is a

problem

that can only be solved through individual intervention. In

this

essay, we shall look at the two sides to

this

coin.

First

and foremost, the major form of pollution is the burning of fossil fuels in factories and by

vehicles

on the road. Whilst the use of fossil fuels in factories is a bit difficult to get around, the

problem

brought about by

vehicles

on the roads is something which the government can easily focus on. What needs to be done is to strengthen the public transport sectors, impose heavy fines on the number of

vehicles

a family can posse, and

in addition

, they must thrust onto the public fines for using

vehicles

after a certain hour.

Furthermore

, they should encourage local bicycle businesses, by creating more bicycle lanes and parks, which will in turn help to boost their business. Car manufacturers, must look into the possibility of producing greener cars, and slowly phase out the production of petrol and diesel

vehicles

. Once

this

happens, more and more petrol stations will cater to the new requirements by vehicle owners. These are some of the changes that the administration can enforce. They can

also

heavily in renewable sources of energy,

such

as the building of wind turbines, which will help generate more electricity in a cleaner manner. The natives,

on the other hand

, are not able to make changes at

such

a high level,

therefore

they can make small changes at home. They can make a conscious effort to switch to public transport systems. Electric

vehicles

may be a bit costlier than the normal petrol or diesel

vehicles

, but we must try and make the move for the sake of the environment. People must

also

invest in solar panels for their houses so that they can avoid the use of boilers and heaters. In conclusion, I feel that it is detrimental to solve the ever-persisting

problem

of air pollution,

however

, we must remember that for

this

to be nipped in the bud, everyone, the governments, and individuals need to do their part.
