Government
The government is responsible for the environment alongside the citizens and should make efforts to curb the emission of greenhouse gases. The greenhouse gases are catastrophic and massively contribute to climate change. The earth has gotten warmer over the last few decades, leading to massive loss of both plant and animal life. This has also caused the rapid melting of the icebergs that are supposed to act as massive stores of water, causing a rise in the ocean level and accompanying disasters such as tornados. The emission of greenhouse gases has been boosted by the industrialization that has occurred over the last few years and the USA is a global leader in these issues (Kulin & Johansson Sevä, 2019). The USA is one of the largest producers of these greenhouse gases and should therefore curb its emissions. Curbing these gases will make the earth hospitable for humans, other animals, and plants. This will promote food security and decrease the incidence of catastrophic diseases such as skin conditions.
General Public and Private Sector
If the federal and state government do not constitute measures engineered toward tackling the menace of greenhouse gases emission, the private sector must do this. The private sector and the general public can make deliberate attempts towards reducing these emissions by decreasing the use of machines (Walenta, 2019). The use of public transport is a brilliant way of minimizing the number of vehicles consuming fuel or releasing greenhouse gases, better serving to preserve the environment. The private sector should also employ innovative ways of running their enterprises without releasing large quantities of greenhouse gases which are detrimental. The private sector should take up this mandate owing to its reputation as a creative sector. Its innovativeness has been tremendous in the progress of the globe in various sectors and will remain instrumental in future.
