Further-more it shows some solution to fight environment degradation and importance of sustainable development. It suggests adopting renewable energy sources (solar and wind energy), promoting waste management system, afforestation, enhance environmentally friendly policies. On all hands this study highlights that environmental protection is not only responsibility of government, it is also every-individuals responsibility.
