The Formation of Micro Grassroots Environmental NGO-the Best Choice for Non-governmental Environmental Protection in China

摘要

With China's reform and opening up, the third sector which has universally grown up during the 1980s started to spread into China. Chinese environmental protection NGO is still at starting level although China possesses kinds of environmental protection NGO including official environmental organizations, the international environmental protection NGO institutions, grassroots environmental NGO, school environmental clubs and other forms of environmental NGO. Since we do not have mature democracy and free market economy in China, it is not a good choice to join in the environmental protection NGO for those Chinese citizens who hope to improve the situation of the environment through actions. A 3-5-person non-governmental micro environmental protection NGO will have more powerful efficiency, vitality and creativity because it can avoid defects such as inheritance, legitimacy and energy dispersion. The future of Chinese environmental protection consists in the citizens' awareness of building the micro grass-root environmental protection NGO.
