How does the government affect the environment

I am passionate about how the government affects the environment because it is necessary for everyone to be aware of the renewable energy the government is planning to employ in order to allow further preservation of our future, from the preservation of our forests to the skies. There are many things the government could do to help the environment, although they may not be the most beneficial to the economy, especially in its fragile state currently.

The government is putting money into renewable energy all the time, however it may not be much energy generated compared to the amount necessary to eliminate and substantially reduce the need for fossil fuels. There are many other things the government may, or must have to do in order to limit the amount of CO2 that goes into the environment; one example is the carbon tax. Moreover, renewable energy is an important factor to each countries pollution. Renewable energy is not cheap and is a very long term investment, which means that it is difficult to institute more renewable energy in the government, although it is more beneficial in the future than it would be if we continue to use fossil fuels.
