Environment protection is the responsbility of politicians, not individuals as individuals can do too little. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some think that the onus of protecting the

environment

lies with the

politicians

and not on citizens since citizens can do too little. I totally agree with

this

statement because

politicians

can spread awareness among people about the benefits of saving the

environment

and they can spend large amounts of money.

Government

leaders can let people know about the benefits of saving the

environment

.

That is

to say that many

individuals

are unaware of the problem of environmental degradation, and the responsibility of making them aware lies with the

government

officials.

For instance

, the Indian

government

has started a campaign for reducing air pollution by letting people know about the detrimental impact of polluted air which resulted in a ten per cent reduction in air pollution.

Therefore

, I agree with the statement that saving the

environment

is the responsibility of

politicians

and not

individuals

.

Further

, the

government

have high finance as compared to the

individuals

.

In other words

, authorities have the treasury to make a large impact on saving the

environment

, and they can spend a colossal amount of money which a normal citizen cannot.

For example

, the Yamuna River was cleaned by the Delhi

government

in just 1 week which an individual cannot afford.

Hence

, I agree that public officials can make a huge impact on saving the

environment

compared to an individual. In conclusion, some say that the responsibility of saving the

environment

lies with

politicians

and not on

individuals

. I totally agree with

this

statement because

government

leaders can make citizens aware and they have huge finances.
