The Importance of The Government Involvement
Government action is considered necessary to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions. Although the current Clean Air Act was designed to control the air pollution, the Act is not fully sufficient to reduce CO2 emissions.
Many individuals and businesses are aware of the issues and putting efforts by volunteering in reducing the CO2 emissions, but the majority of people are not. The improvement in technologies leads to high productivity, which was outpaced by the following factors: population growth, economic expansion, and the changing consumer preferences. It is necessary for the Government to take serious actions to accomplish the level of emissions reductions. The government has the capacity to regulate industry generally to reduce CO2 emissions and to set the standards reaching all sectors. The government’s responsibility is to guard the citizen’s public health and welfare.

Famous quotes containing the words importance, government and/or involvement:
“More than ten million women march to work every morning side by side with the men. Steadily the importance of women is gaining not only in the routine tasks of industry but in executive responsibility. I include also the woman who stays at home as the guardian of the welfare of the family. She is a partner in the job and wages. Women constitute a part of our industrial achievement.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“The Government is able to afford a suitable army and a suitable navy. It may maintain them without the slightest danger to the Republic or the cause of free institutions, and fear of additional taxation ought not to change a proper policy in this regard.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“In the planning and designing of new communities, housing projects, and urban renewal, the planners both public and private, need to give explicit consideration to the kind of world that is being created for the children who will be growing up in these settings. Particular attention should be given to the opportunities which the environment presents or precludes for involvement of children with persons both older and younger than themselves.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
