Environmental protection should be the responsibility of politicians, not individuals as individuals can do too little. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

problem. In my opinion, the responsibility to protect the

environment

should not fall upon

politicians

Use synonyms

alone because ordinary citizens can make a significant contribution.

Firstly

Linking Words

,

politicians

can urge the government to impose new laws against actions that damage the

environment

.

For instance

Linking Words

, one of the major factors leading to environmental pollution is the overuse of plastic products, like bottles and bags, and

this

Linking Words

can be stopped if the government issues an official ban on all companies from using plastic packaging.

In addition

Linking Words

, the rate of deforestation can

also

be reduced if high-ranking bureaucrats agree to impose strict punishments,

such

as long-term imprisonment and heavy fines, on those who cut down trees illegally.

However

,

besides

introducing and enforcing new laws and regulations, I doubt that there is any

further

action that

On the other hand

, I believe that ordinary

greatly contribute to protecting the

.

First

, citizens in many countries, like the Netherlands, have now shifted towards using bicycles and subway trains for their daily travel

instead

Second
