Therefore, we need to carefully deal with the problems of environment. We could try to form a new social fashion: "In order to protect the environment, everyone is responsible".

1.  In order to cultivate people’s sentiment of protecting the environment and establish a concept of green civilization, we need to have consciously care for the environment, and comply with the provisions of environmental protection laws and regulations. We need to aware that individual environmental protection actions are an integral part of individual humanistic literacy.
