Environmental protection is the responsibility of politicians, not individual people, because individuals can make little difference. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In this day and age, ecological protection has become an increasing public concern. While some people argue that politicians should be responsible to address this issue and people can not make a significant impact on it, I partly agree that although politicians can play an important role in protecting the environment, it also should be supported by individuals. On the one hand, people who work in authorities have a stronger voice in environmental protection. It means that the politicians should have more responsibilities because the various policies about the environment will be built by them. For example, when a environmental problem need to be solve, politicians should have a deeper discussion about this issue to find a reasonable solution such as enhancing the price of fuel. As a result, governments can implement as quickly as possible different regulations to protect the planet. On the other hand, people’s contribution to ecological protection are also essential. This is because the pollution is caused largely by people’s daily activities by using plastic bags and throwing rubbish everywhere. More specifically, some individuals do not understand the importance of protecting the environment. For instance, a person burns disposable bags because of the lack of the awareness of protecting natural resources. It can lead to severe environmental damage. As a result, even if politicians make efforts to environmental protection, there will be slight changes because of a lack of the contribution by the public. In conclusion, it is clear that even though the responsibilities of politicians are important, it is inadequate to solve the problem without the involvement of individuals. It is recommended that governments should also encourage people to adopt green lifestyle by reducing their use of single-use bags and take public transportation.
