CORRECTED VERSION: To protect the environment, the government needs to act firmly. First of all, waste management is essential. If waste is handled correctly, it will not cause serious problems. Secondly, regarding carbon footprint issues, the government should introduce a carbon tax to limit emissions from vehicles, industries, and construction activities. In some European countries, strict policies like this have already been implemented to reduce pollution. Finally, people’s awareness should be raised from an early age, so that children can learn to protect nature and grow up to be responsible citizens.
