ENVIRONMENT: The responsibility for the environment rests with the individual and not only with the government. Do you agree? (G, A)___________________

Everyone is becoming aware that the environment is a serious issue. There is bad air and water pollution everywhere and we also know that the greenhouse effect is changing our weather, and the hole in the ozone layer is causing skin cancer.

However, not enough is being done to solve these problems, because most people seem to be waiting for governments to make the decisions. In fact, the responsibility for protecting the environment must be shared by everyone. Individuals can and should do many things to help to solve the problem.

First of all, people can make sure that they are responsible in the way that they dispose of waste.

If people throw rubbish like plastic into rivers or oceans, it always stays there, and causes fish and sea birds to die. It is also important to make sure that we do not buy goods that have too much wrapping on them, especially plastic wrapping, because if we do, we are adding to the huge amounts of waste.

People also need to be responsible in the way that they use water. In some countries, like Australia, an enormous amount of water is wasted for swimming pools, washing cars and so on. Most countries are running out of fresh water.

If people used their cars less, this would help to prevent the greenhouse effect. Everyone can try to use public transport more, or use bicycles, or even walk, instead of using their cars for even short trips.

Finally, the most important thing that individuals can do is to let their governments know that they want something to be done about the environment. It is obvious that the governments will not do anything unless the people force them to.

It is therefore clear that the individuals must take responsibility for the environment, otherwise it will soon be too late, and we and the next generation will suffer serious consequences.
