Opinion Essay

Responsible of Pollution 

In this essay I will be discussing the issue of who has more responsibility for pollution; The business or the government? This topic is relevant for people who have interest in the contamination of the world in this moment, I'm with people who said that the business and factories are more responsible that the government in world contamination. 

As you know, the pollution of the earth is very important these days, some people's  think about the really responsible of contamination, if you think like me you really know that the factories and businesses are the real responsibles of the problem. Nowadays are many countries industrialized, like China, Japan, Brazil, India and especial in the United states, the greatest source of pollution is the Industrial community of this country. According to the 2000 toxics Release Industry of the United States Environmental Protection Agency: "Over 2.95 million metric tons of toxic chemicals from about 2.000 industrial facilities are annually released into the environment".
Personally I think that this is a very important point because if we continue raising these toxics, it is very probably that in the next years we will have more problems that now about this. Also in the past with the Industrial Revolution, pollution became a major problem with the introduction or the steam engine (And a series of goods shifting) from home and small to large industrial factories. Another reason to believe me is because according to Web site "Pollution Issues": "The contamination increased because of the use of artificially sources of power that replaced the natural power of fast-running rivers".

What is more, now there is are a considerable number of corporations starting to account for coming carbon limits in business. There is definitely a change because according to a news report by the CDP: "These companies recognize the era of unlimited pollution will end soon, and it's time to rain in their share of global warming emissions". Well, at least they will stop raising contamination emissions, but at this time, is not it a little late? The factories should have stopped this before, at least ten years ago so now we wouldn't pay the consequences, but is so late. Another thing is that according to web site The Energy Collective: "Right now companies are free to release as much carbon as they want. If you know the carbon gas makes the climate changes and contribute to the deadly storms, costly droughts and destructive floods like the ones that have swept through our communities." To my mind, we need to help our communities by limiting how much carbon pollution the companies release.

However, some people think that the government is the principal responsible, they think that managing the air quality is a partnership between the multiple government jurisdictions and stakeholders. The BC Air Quality separate in the federal, provincial, regional and municipal governments, said: " The government is the responsible for making and enforcing laws, issuing permits and codes of practice and setting standards, objectives guidelines and criteria. So, why anywhere the factories also contribute to the pollution, if the government is watching it?

In conclusion, I really think that, if we really want to "clean" the air from pollution, take care of our planet, and stop the contamination, we need to stop the emission of carbon gas or also, stop the most contamination factories. Also the government can help us, but seriously and take control of industries. So now we can be sure that the industries are changing in their pollution politics.
