Governments should make people responsible for looking after their own local environment. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Protection of the

environment

is an indispensable task for everyone. Whilst some people think that authorities should constrain individuals to take care of the

nature

of their own community, in

this

essay, I present arguments in support of the notion that people should take responsibility towards the whole

environment

. On the one hand, maintaining local eco-balance is grave for indigenous people. In many locations, the wealth of inhabitants directly depends on ecological components.

Such

as soil and water.

Thus

, to preserve them in good condition and to avoid any kind of contamination is essential not only for health status but

also

for living conditions. Quality of soil,

for instance

, can easily deteriorate

as a result

of extensive usage of chemicals, and

consequently

, it becomes less prolific after a short period of time.

Therefore

, everybody engaged in agriculture should shun any activity that may have a harmful effect on the local

nature

.

On the other hand

, the protective initiatives of

nature

should not be confined locally only. Many activities of humans can negatively affect the general

environment

.

For example

, driving a car or reckless usage of electricity may contribute to increases in carbon emissions, which certainly imposes threats not only on local

nature

but

also

creates perils for the world's ecosystem.

Therefore

, individuals should think of their community environments as an uninterruptable part of the global system. In conclusion,

although

governments compel their citizens to bear responsibility for the local natural

environment

, it is paramount that they have

also

monitor their activities in concern to the negative impact on the global status of the

environment

.
