Some people think that politicians should be responsible for protecting the environment as there is nothing much that individuals can do about this problem. In my opinion, the responsibility to protect the environment should not fall upon politicians alone because ordinary citizens can make a significant contribution.

Many people believe the responsibility for protecting the environment should belong to politicians rather than individuals who are hardly capable of doing anything. In my opinion, individuals can actually do a lot so they should share such responsibility with politicians.
