Recommendations

Education
Role of education should be emphasized since educated population can better understand and assess the environmental impacts in global arena. Technology innovation to solve environmental concerns should also be encouraged. Environmental education should be provided at the grass root level of the community so, that people are aware of the consequences resulted by their actions.

Environmental Laws and Regulation
Environmental laws and regulation should be implemented and reformed based on the current need and conditions.

Using Market Tools
Market tools like taxes and subsidies should be utilized as incentive or disincentive appropriately to reduce environmental damages. For instance, tax incentive must be given to companies to install filters and other pollution reducing applications.

Awareness
People should be made aware of the effects that individual lifestyle has on the global environment. For instance, citizens of China should understand the consequence of imitating American automobile acquiring trend. They should be aware whether evolving lifestyle is sustainable in long run or not.

International Involvement
It is also duty of developed nation to help China to deal with the environmental concern because the developed nations who have trade relation with China can be held partly responsible for the problem since they import Chinese goods and leave the pollution behind in China.
Rest of the world should be aware of China’s environmental degradation also because in the long run every individual country will be affected by China’s conditions because China is a huge country with huge population. It is also a potentially largest consumer of resources that are available in the world.
