The government must take firm action against the perpetrators of water pollution and those who damage the environment.
Your are correct that people need to be attentive to pollution and take steps to reduce it; Hovever, I find your faith in government misplaced. Government is led by people seeking power. People who seek power are generally wasteful.
I used to be a leftist until one day it dawned on me that people in the free market were doing a better as stewards that the government.
Once I started seeing the tremendous amount of destruction and waste forced upon up by government dictates, I realized that I needed to abandonned the claim that the government is somehow the cure for waste.

I am optimistic that one day there will be a government that cares about its people, and I believe one day that spirit of leadership will return.
I also agree with you. Currently it is very difficult to find the truth from the government. All political games, power, we as a society are victims.
People care about people. Governments care about power and control. This is why free societies tend to have less pollution than totalitarian societies.
Because people tend to care about their communities. They seek ways to make their communities.
We are in a paradoxical situation. Politicians realized that they can gain power by campaigning for a green future. Free people who want to make the environment better vote for the message.
The problem is that people are not getting what they are voting for ... because the corrupt political class is the source of most of the pollution in the world.
There is no rebuttal to your argument. I strongly agree.
I found that in my place, no one cares about the pollution that occurs, because the government is the support behind it all.
The best way to fight pollution is to raise local awareness of the problem and to get people to talk about solutions.
It is amazing what people can accomplish by organizing clean up drives, recycling drives and other direct efforts to improve the local ecosystem.
