Should the Government do more to help save the environment?

I believe that the Government should do more to help save the environment. The environment has been an issue that has not been voiced like it should be. There are so many environmental issues today, from the Texas oil spill, to global warming. I think that people should take more time to care for the environment, many people do not care but i feel that if they care about their lives, the environment might be something to consider. Our world today has many unvoiced problems, and our government should be the one initiating change. There are so many different little things everyone can do to help.I feel that many of us are lazy and aren't thinking about the consequences that could happen in the future do to our lack of respect of the earth .The Government can also do more things as well such as creating laws that regulate how we treat our earth, and use our resources.
