13. Responsibility for preserving the natural environment ultimately belongs to each inpidual person, not to government.
保护自然环境的责任完全是每一个个人，而非政府。
1， 个人总是是根据我们的利益办事即便有环保意愿但和个人利益冲突或要损失个人利益时候总是就会选择牺牲环境moreover个人总是是短视的，只关注眼前不注意长远。政府则相反
2， 环保常常规模非常大，个人无力完成。
3， 诚然每一个保护环境的手段都是要个人的参与的。但这种参与是在政府的统筹下的。象作者那样的论断是草率的

Experience tells us that inpiduals tend to act on behalf of their own short-term economic and political interest, not on behalf of the environment or the public at large.

1， The proponents9 of this assertion may argue that the natural environment ultimately belongs to each inpidual person, therefore, it is reasonable to attribute to each person the responsibility for preserving it. a, 需要要承认的是，大家一同用环境资源，the condition of the environment may have directly effect on each person。所以，每人都has the obligation to protect the environment from being polluted. b, 只有每人都积极地保护环境，
2， However, to leave all the responsibility to inpiduals is hardly a wise decision. Despite of the argument above, we should still not lose the sight of the fact that inpiduals have strong propensity10 of self-interest and short-term consideration. 没政府的监督，极少有人自愿作出牺牲以保护环境（voluntarily make sacrifice to protect the environment.）譬如假如政府不forbidden smoking in public，smokers may enjoy their cigarettes whenever they want. Deforestation kill excessively
不少状况下，重大fatal的保护环境举措，没政府的支持办不到。譬如工厂dumping noxious11 water into the river/ deforestation/ kill excessively以上那些行动，个人的力量根本不可以阻止prohibit.

Optional words:
Preserve/ conserve/ maintain
Thesis sentence: While inpidual person can do a lot to protect our natural environment, the responsibility of preservation the overall environment lies in the hands of government with help form each inpidual in the society.
View1: Experience tells us that inpiduals tend to act on behalf of their own short-term economic and political interest, not on behalf of the environment or the public at large.

View2:the government has certain advantages in preserving the environment.
Evidence:
the government can place certain regulations on the wastes and pollutants12 towards environment emitted by industries.
Fines deprived from corporations and inpidual ones that disobey the environmental regulations can be used on many ways such as preserve the forests, planting trees, create conserved13 areas that will improve our current situations.

While nearly everyone would agree in principle that certain efforts to preserve the natural environment are in humankinds best interest, environmental issues always involve a tug of war among conflicting political and economic interests. For this reason, and because serious environmental problems are generally large in scale, government participation is needed to ensure environmental preservation.
Experience tells us that inpiduals tend to act on behalf of their own short-term economic and political interest, not on behalf of the environment or the public at large. For example, current technology makes possible the complete elimination of polluting emissions14 from automobiles15. Nevertheless, neither automobile manufacturers nor consumers are willing or able to voluntarily make the short-term sacrifices necessary to accomplish this goal. only the government holds the regulatory and enforcement power to impose the necessary standards and to ensure that we achieve such goals.
Aside from the problems of self-interest and enforcement, environmental issues inherently involve public health and are far too pandemic in nature for inpiduals to solve on their own. Many of the most egregious16 environmental violations17 traverse state and sometimes national borders. Environmental hazards are akin18 to those involving food and drug safety and to protecting borders against enemies; inpiduals have neither the power nor the resources to address these widespread hazards.
In the final analysis, only the authority and scope of power that a government possesses can ensure the attainment of agreed-upon environmental goals. Because inpiduals are incapable19 of assuming this responsibility, government must do so.
