    Some people think that current environment issues are global problems and should therefore be dealt with by the government while others believe that these problems can only be tackled by individuals. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

It is true that whether they should originate the solutions to from authorities or individuals is a subject of debate. While it can give reasons to justify the former statement, the latter one is much more preferable.
On the one side, there are compelling reasons to think that governments play a crucial role in mitigating environmental problems. Firstly, these issues are considered as market failures that need to be intervened by the national and local authorities. The environment is marked as a public convenience. As a result, by imposing green taxes, the government could make the environment better. Secondly, the government could encourage green business which has not reached high productivity. For example, sustainable farming is the best example for this point as farmers have to face difficulties from low productivity at the early stage.
On the other side, others would argue that individuals play a more vital role in enhancing the quality of the environment. The first prominent reason is that the intervention of the government will not equal to the better environment if there are not any appropriate consumption behaviors. For instance, only when individuals are aware of how much plastic he or she is consuming, it will save marine creatures. Moreover, without the demand for green products, the businesses of sustainable sectors could not maintain their operation no matter how much it spends no matter.
In conclusion, although environment-related awareness has increased, the behaviors towards sustainability still do not occur. There is a gap between the attitude and behavior of purchasers which needs to be paid more attention by themselves.
