Human conscious and non-conscious activity has not only hampered the progressivity and productivity of the natural environment, but has led to the pollution and destruction of same. One cannot but observe with dismay, that life in generality is greatly threatened if nothing is done urgently. Although the case of this problem can truly be traceable to certain non-human alterations in nature, yet predominantly, man stands as a peculiar precursor of environmental pollution. There is need to protect and nurture the environment for sustainable ecosystem.
