This involves not privately mining (mining), chopping (trees), dumping (sewage), releasing (polluted gas), overgrazing, overexploiting natural resources, destroying the ecological balance of nature and so on. This level is macroscopic and can only be solved by governments at all levels exercising their functions and carrying out regulation. ?

The relationship between these three levels is: you have me and I have you, each with its own emphasis and unity. The three are not contradictory, let alone antagonistic. As citizens, protecting our living environment means protecting the natural environment indirectly or directly; If we destroy the living environment, we will directly or indirectly destroy the natural environment. As a government, we should not only focus on macro-protection, but also start from micro-level, mobilize and educate the masses, and make environmental protection a conscious action of citizens.
