Nowadays, environmental problem has become a burning question for the whole human society. We are using up our natural resource and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot survive. However, regarding the responsibility for protecting the environment, some people believe individuals are more important, while others think governments should be major responsible.<br />
<br />
Those who hold the statement that individuals should take major responsibility of environment protection insist that individuals are the main cause of environmental pollution, so they should address this issue by themselves. They argue that almost all the environmental problems such as air and water pollution, extinction of species, depletion of natural resource have direction relations with people’s life style. If people want to improve the environment in which we live in, we should firstly change our way of life. For example, if all of us take public transportation, the exhaust gas emission will greatly reduced; if everybody does not use disposable plastic bags, our cities will become much cleaner. So each person plays a key role in environment protection.<br />
<br />
However, some people point out that environment protection is the obligation of the government. Firstly, governments have the rights and duties to establish laws to protect environment, anyone who destroys the environment will be punished by the law, so it can greatly decrease the actions of environmental disruption. Secondly, most of the environment protection projects are non-profitable and need a large amount of money, which only governments can afford it. Thirdly, but not lastly, with the development of globalization, many environmental issues need multinational cooperation, which also government can take on.<br />
<br />
Personally, I think the government should take the responsibility of environment protection. At any rate, government’s capability of environment protection is more powerful than individuals. That is not to say individuals do not need to do it. People also should try their best to make sure our world is pleasant place to live in the future.

没忍住，帮LZ改写一段，纯探讨，轻拍。
Nowadays, environmental problem has become a burning question for the whole human society.
Environmental problem has turned out to be one of the most predominant concerns to the human race on this planet ever since the Industrial Age.
We are using up our natural resource and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot survive.
Natural resources that the civilization world currently relies on, like minerals and fossil energies, are going depleted in a foreseeable future, whilst a variety of hazardous side-products from the petroleum manufacturing and metallurgy, for example, are making our environment unfavourable to the survival of the life forms of our kind.
However, regarding the responsibility for protecting the environment, some people believe individuals are more important, while others think governments should be major responsible.
The effort in reversing the situation to protect the environment fortunately has been going on in the past decades, however, it remains controversial that the major responsibility of taking such effort should be born by the Government or the ordinary individual.
