Are people in your country concerned about protecting the environment?

To be honest, no. I think the middle and upper classes are more interested in earning as
much money as they can in order to buy as much stuff as they can. And there are many
people in my country who live below the poverty line and they quite literally can’t afford
to worry about the environment when they’re struggling to put food on the table and just
survive.

Does the responsibility for protecting the environment lie with governments or with individuals?

In my view, the responsibility lies with all of us, However, individuals, at least in my
country, aren ‘t taking action of their own accord, and nor are businesses ; they’re just out
to make a profit. Therefore, it falls to governments to force people to be more green, for
example by fining companies that release toxic waste into our rivers, or incentivising ‘us to recycle.

Does it help to educate young people on being green?

Almost certainly it does, because it is the next generation wllo will have to take on the
huge burden of saving the planet. This generation isn’t doing enough and is too worried
about money, so I pray that the next one will see the urgency of the situation, and the
way to get them to see is to teach them about the repercussions of a polluting lifestyle
such as ours.
