It is the government’s responsibility to protect the environment.
It is a well-known thing that nowadays every country has its own environmental problems. But who should take care of it: the head of a country or its citizens?
As for me, I agree with this statement and I strongly believe that the government should protect the outward things. Firstly, it is government's duty to lead environmental campaigns as there is a special item in a country's budget for it and people also have a right to a favorable environment. Secondly, the natural condition of a country can generally have a great influence on the environmental health in the world. For instance, the Chernobyl disaster or the Gulf of Mexico oil spill have changed the main environmental condition for the worse but the concerted actions of many countries have led to an improvement in this situation in the world.
However, opponents argue that just people should be responsible for the environment condition.
I would object saying that the government has more resources than a separate person to take care of the environment and they are able to solve problems faster and without consequences.
To sum up, I would like to say that it is more important to protect the environment using different methods than to argue whose responsibility it is.
