A multitude of factors may lie behind this disagreement between words and action, or belief and practice, but the following might be the leading ones. In the first place, a number of environmentalists have been discouraged by the deeds of other members of their society, or by the performance of the government. There is no doubt that one would be inclined to sway his or her position when many and even most people around him or her think little of, misunderstand or even fiercely object to his or her idea. They are especially frustrated when the state fails to support or encourage their proposal. In the second place, a considerable section of people are unwilling to give up the present ways of living which may damage the environment but which provide them with comfort. They know the use of automobiles results in air pollution, but they just hate to go back to walking or cycling between work and home. They know air conditioners and refrigerators emit Freon which erodes the ozone layer, but they just would not live without them.
A number of other reasons may also be in existence, but they basically fall into the two categories mentioned above. In other words, people do not really feel the urgency of environmental protection or the necessity of starting with changing their own way of living. However, every evidence shows that human beings are at a crucial moment of survival, and a severe worldwide environmental crisis is already looming.
