The government of a country sworn to look after the betterment of the countrymen. People are unaware of the aftereffects of this overuse. So the government has to play a vital role by sending the message to the mass population and by taking necessary initiatives to prevent this overuse of the natural resources. However, we all should understand the issue and should help preventtake part to prevent the overuse of our natural resources. The government can not stop such a bad trend all alone. Making new furniture is a right to a citizen and Government can not stop this by enforcing laws only. The citizen must be conscious about the devastating aftereffects.

In conclusion, I personally believe that the Government should be strict and discourage the mass people overusing natural resources. In addition, a comprehensive effort by all is needed to make the steps taken by the Government successful.

Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 6.0

The essay gives a clear supportive position and relevant discussion of finite resources, population growth, luxury consumption, government responsibility, and individual awareness. Its main limitation is that the proposed government response remains vague and the argument repeats overuse rather than explaining specific environmental consequences or policies; the highest-priority improvement is to develop concrete measures such as taxation, recycling standards, public education, or sustainable-product incentives.
