Introduction This paper is a discussion of the argument that; not only individuals but government and other social organizations should engage in maintaining and conserving the environment. These other parties that arguably should engage in environmental protection include the state as a policy making body and social organizations among other parties. The environment can be defined as the surroundings of a person or an object; that include the bio-physical environment; the built surroundings that include transport networks and the physical systems that interact within the surroundings to exchange energy and mass among other properties. The other major aspect of the environment constitutes the natural living and non-living things that exist without the influence of human activities including living organisms; and natural features like water masses. Discussed in this paper is pollution, which is the introduction of foreign compounds or energy forms to the environment; and climate change which is the shift of climatic and weather patterns or their distribution. (Cat, 2009) Main Body As a personal response to the argument; the individual’s involvement in environmental conservation is not enough as there is need for policy and regulation enforcement where he can only give advice to the federal government on issues of environmental protection policies and planning; give the government and other authorities’ advice on the scientific and technological actions that affect the environment; and to prepare intervallic master plans for the advancement of environmental science and expertise. The individual is also supposed to advise environmental conservation enforcing agents of; the financial requirements necessary for the execution of environmental plans; provide support and promote cooperation on environmental conservation issues with environmental conservation agencies including the international bodies related to environmental protection. The individual has a legal right to live in a clean favorable environment; therefore should take the responsibility to report matters of environmental degradation to conservation agencies; keep activities and sources of energy that result to the least environmental pollution that can be achieved by adopting environmental friendly sources of energy and specializing in environmentally friendly socio-economic activities. The individual has the initiative of cutting down on pollution through proper waste management; recycling of resources; and through using materials that are bio-degradable. (David, 1994) The government on the other hand has the responsibility of conserving the environment in the following ways: The creation of liberalism that will allow for improvement of property rights, personal freedom, and the rule of law that in-turn lead to an increase in environmental protection. The government should also participate through formation of policies to do with absolute limits on carbon dioxide and funding of systems of alternative sources of energy that discourage environmental pollution. Governments should engage in coordinating efforts to buy, and defend biodiversity hotspots around the world through policy formulation; adjust to the increased instances of natural disaster through planning and risk management that come into action when
