PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT

Nowadays, environment is in a bad state, as it is facing one of the most major threats the world over.

Modern human activities can be considered to be an important contributing factor to the development of life, which is finally leading to a disrupt 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 the government has to bear the full responsibility for handling this problem, whereas, others are of the opinion that this is possible with measures taken at an individual level.

Taking the first argument into consideration, the government should undoubtedly take some measures to prevent damage to the ecosystem.

Firstly, rules and regulations should be set to safeguard the “Mother Nature” and huge fines should be imposed if the rules are violated.

Certain countries have already applied this and the results are obvious. Thus, it is clear that strict measures implemented by the government can contribute to the control of the environmental problems.

Nevertheless, looking at the rate at which the environment is being destroyed in the present times, the remedies taken only by the authorities are not sufficient to handle this situation. Individuals must come into action and offer their help as much as they can. This effort will doubtless cause a significant change in the present conditions.

So, if some of us make the start, the others will follow and consequently they will manage to eliminate the negative effect of the humanity on nature.

In this way it is apparent how changes in the individual lifestyle can have an impact on the society, thereby, communities are motivated to work 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 concluded that in order to face problems related to the environment, efforts have to be made both by the government and the individuals.

Only then, this task can be accomplished and a healthier planet can be preserved for the future generations.
