It is, the government is responsible for our actions but also the countries activities. The government must think about what is important for each citizen and how they can be useful for them. A government is supposed to be caring and they have to be giving fair treatment to everyone.

The environment should be protected, but we should also make sure that the economy is at a good standpoint.

I think that businesses should have money to spend for there company for mantanace and stuff that Matters like if you were to have a bakery then you would have to have money if your a start up company then I think that the government should pay for things that that said bakery needs to bake things like an oven and baking supplies to make the baked goods and so on.

The government should send out inspectors to see how businesses are treating the environment.

Yes but there must be great cosidereration of those effected by corporate losses.

The government should just take money from the military because we are already allied with other countries close by with stronger and better army's so we could use that military funding and put it into environmental needs.

No, businesses should be able to monitor their own effects on the environment and make changes accordingly.
