Thereisnodoubtthatthegovernmentistheagencythatshouldplaytheleadingrolesinsolvingtheenvironmentalproblems.Tobeginwith,withthepowertocollecttaxesfromindividualcitizensandprivatecompanies,thegovernmenthavethefinancialresourcesthatarenecessarytodealwithenvironmentalissues.Inaddition,thegovernmentmayformulatepoliciestoprovideincentivesforthecompaniesandindividualstoreducetheamountofpollutioncausedbytheiractivities.Finally,thegovernmentistheonlyinstitutionthatmayenactlawsrelatedtoenvironmentalproblems.
