PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT

Nowadays, environment is in a bad state, as it isfacing one of the most major threats the worldover.

Modern human activities can be considered tobe an important contributing factor to thedevelopment of life, which is finally leading to adisrupt of the ecological balance.

Well, it is true that several organizations,developed at national and international levels,are trying to combat this issue.

However, some people argue that thegovernment has to bear the full responsibility forhandling this problem, whereas, others are of theopinion that this is possible with measures takenat an individual level.

Taking the first argument into consideration, thegovernment should undoubtedly take somemeasures to prevent damage to the ecosystem.

Firstly, rules and regulations should be set tosafeguard the “Mother Nature” and huge finesshould be imposed if the rules are violated.

Certain countries have already applied this andthe results are obvious. Thus, it is clear that strictmeasures implemented by the government cancontribute to the control of the environmentalproblems.

Nevertheless, looking at the rate at which theenvironment is being destroyed in the presenttimes, the remedies taken only by the authoritiesare not sufficient to handle this situation.Individuals must come into action and offer theirhelp as much as they can. This effort will doubtlesscause a significant change in the presentconditions.

So, if some of us make the start, the others willfollow and consequently they will manage toeliminate the negative effect of the humanity onnature.

In this way it is apparent how changes in theindividual lifestyle can have an impact on thesociety, thereby, communities are motivated towork corporately for a safer planet.

It is vitally important that human beings should approach the matter with sensitivity and learn to appreciate “Mother Nature” and do their best to keep it safe and sound. This can be achieved through some organizations which can be created by concerned residents.

Analyzing both these views, it can be concludedthat in order to face problems related to theenvironment, efforts have to be made both by thegovernment and the individuals.

Only then, this task can be accomplished and ahealthier planet can be preserved for the futuregenerations.
