Under the shadow of the haze, people's physical-and mental health, the normal operations of the social economy, the credibility of the government and even the international image, have been greatly undermined. The reflection of Beijing haze is imminent In fact, Beijing haze has exceeded the simple weather problems, the source of haze problem in Beijing is the man-made pollution, The essence of Philosophy is the imbalance between man and nature, and the human being's moral absence of nature; in particular, the misconduct and neglect of environmental responsibility when dealing with the relationship between nature, society and human being themselves.
