Environmental problems
cannot be solved by
one

few
countries.
Instead,
they
should
be
solved

effort.

+1
many
environmental
problems
are
widespread
that
they
can
hardly
be confined to one single country or
region, such as oil spills and dust
storms.
It
is
crucial
that
these
problems
be
solved
with
international
efforts. Each
country and person should be made aware of their
unique
role in environmental
protection.
+2 The second
reason why international joint efforts are needed
to solve
environmental
problems
is
that
each
country
has
its
own
weakness
in
environmental protection.
For example, although industrialised countries
possess
advanced
technology
and
more
financial
resources
for
environmental
protection,
some
of
them
do
not
want
to
address
the
problem
of
emission-induced
climate
change
because
they
are
afraid
that
reducing
industrial
and
vehicle
carbon
emissions
will
slow
down
their
industrial production and make their
people
’
s lives less
comfortable
or convenient. Thus, other
nations and international organisations have
their
roles
to
play
in
ensuring
that
industrialised
countries
fulfil
their
environmental
responsibilities.

As
the
number
of
cars
increases,
more
money has to be spent on the road
system.
Some
people
think
that
the
government
should pay for
this. Others, however, think
that
car
users
should
pay
for
the
costs.

both
these
