Many articles are written - in journals, magazines, newspapers and many propaganda we're performed from Government, Science societies etc. requesting common people not to perform anything which cause environmental pollution.
Controlled use of plastics, petroleum and complete stop of sound (loud speaker etc.), gas pollution (burning light and toy bombs etc. during festivals) and water pollution are advised from different ends regularly to built consciousness.
But impact is not impressive in most of the cases.
Do you think some force by forming strict laws (like spot fine, imprisonment in repetition etc.) and strict following of these laws may help to change the scenario?
It is about people and about how we organize ourselves to meet our needs and enhance our well-being. Ultimately, all economic behavior is human behavior. I agree with dear Abiodun Olusola which mentioned:
Proper awareness is necessary with some strict laws.
A disciplined uses of environmental benefits go a long way for all round development. Scholars and activists assert that environmental degradation can be controlled and reversed only by ensuring that the parties causing the damage should be made accountable for their action and that they should participate in improving environmental conditions. What is needed is a set of norms, which bring the demands of development and the compulsion of environment closer to each other.
yes I think .. propaganda and some force...
Because most people in the world, especially the poor people, lack health awareness and power and laws are the only deterrent
Unless compulsion comes from inside of us, mere legislation wouldn't work. Though they are necessary even to impart training.

I think these things are based on culture (people culture). I often see people acting differently when they are surrounded by people or traveling to another country.
Therefore raising children on such things will create an educated generation that respects the laws. As for adults, some deterrent laws must be imposed
Hi
As i think impact is not impressive in most cases. SO, I think some force by forming strict laws is very necessary to apply law.

Well, Pattanayak,I donot think so.
At least in India enforcement needs to be implemented practically to achieve what you want.
In western countries people are aware and go for compliance perhaps due to strong law and enforce ment.
Recent case is wrt cleanliness campaign initiatives by our prime minister.
However at most of places municipal corporation people are cleaning the city places just before arrival of inspection team and thereafter conditions become more filthy.
However sole enforcement shall not be working.We should be ready to go for clean environment by heart and guide our kids, students for its merits.
Culminating both these factors shall result into better things.
To me, life has shown that the development of consciousness is too slow for the majority of the people to yield impressive results. So, some force is considered necessary according to the context of the main question of the thread.
Pollution is a phenomenon that threatens existence of the human race. However, I believe humans who create pollution can be used as bait to curtail pollution. We can teach people how to be discipline and clean are the results will be environment free of pollution. Also receptacles can be placed at vintage point for disposal of unwanted materials or waste - this has been tried and tested in my community and it is working.
In my opinion, any problem in this world can be solved only by the people themselves, that is, we ourselves can solve all life problems and no one will solve these problems instead of us. For example, much is said about the huge harm of all types of garbage from plastics, but nothing is done to minimize these wastes or that this waste was not at all. In addition, it is also well known that food and water in plastic packages are very harmful to humans or even dangerous. No, all people buy this food and water very calmly, and then they are indignant that plastics pollute the environment, since it takes 600 years for them only partially decompose. However, there is a very simple solution: do not buy food and water in plastic packages everywhere in the world. If this happens, then their production will simply cease. Such solutions can be offered on all other issues, if these decisions are of course dependent on us. Thus, the general solution is DO NOT BUY THE PRODUCTS FOR WHICH WASTE WILL POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT. As for the solution of pollution problems, which do not depend on us, only one option is possible here: numerous protests aimed at changing the authorities. I see no other way.
Until we start from grass root level on both sides i.e our children at home or schools and responsible citizens in day to day work irrespective of our job status in a dedicated manner.
Education and awareness must be coupled with incentives to encourage common people to become active participants in saving our planet and their environment.
Awareness and environmental culture is important in people's lives, and their awareness is heightened through the application of the law, which is the alternative force of violence.
Ecological education is a part of ethics. I'm happy, I was brought up in Latvia, where we had ethics in our junior school. We can bring up ethics only in the childhood- with our parents and teachers.Then it will be impossible.
i think, development of consciousness may play as important factor.
