How can government protect our environment ?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Environmentalists often suggest that the government is morally obligated to protect the environment as pollution is a cost in which an industrialist can escape and feel irresponsible for it but society as a whole is bearing that cost. so often environmentalists suggest that some economic growth can be sacrificed to achieve better health of the environment.

Step 2

So, the government is responding to it by implementing environmental protection policies like the 1963 Clean Air Act, 1972 Clean Water Act, and the 1974 safe Drinking Water Act. pollution is a problem of society and not of an individual, so if the problem is related to society then the government has a role to play and solve the problem.
