It also needs the political strength to support. As a new political thought, eco-politics is still in the ascendant. Comparing with the traditional politics, eco-politics is in the foundation and familiarity with ecology, to manage the "political and ecology" method, and fetch the caring nature and the ecological thought in political dimension, so as to reconstruct the traditional political or their practical structure. Eco-politics insists on society that should be sustainable and conform to the natural and ecological requirements.In fact, eco-politics has become an important factor in our economy and society's strategy in sustainable development. However, it has born in the west capitalism's politics, economics and culture at first, so it fails to avoid unilateralism.
