environment

and suggest some measures that

governments

and

individuals

could take to address the issue.

Firstly

,

In addition

, every individual has some responsibilities towards the

To conclude

, there are huge negative effects of

on the

environment

.

However

, proper initiatives by

governments

and responses from

individuals

can solve

this

problem easily.
