Australian Values › Australian Values
What responsibilities do Australian citizens have toward the environment?
- None — environmental responsibility is only for government
- To report pollution only if it affects their property
- To follow only voluntary environmental guidelines
- To act sustainably, protect natural resources and respect Australia's unique natural environment for future generations
Why this is the correct answer
Australians are expected to take active responsibility for protecting the natural environment, including acting sustainably, reducing waste and respecting the unique ecosystems that make Australia remarkable. Environmental stewardship is seen as a shared civic responsibility, not something left entirely to government agencies.
