Three methods for advocacy and implementation are analyzed, including the generalization and guidance of the new perspective of citizen’s life and environmental protection, the advocacy practice of social groups, and the guarantee and promotion of national laws and regulations. This paper also discusses several specific concepts and approaches of the new perspective of environmental protection, including low carbon lifestyle, population development and the environment bearing capacity matching, humans living mode optimization, work mode change, traffic adjustment, arms control, the rationalization of economic development speed, waste control, rational adjustment of the gap between the rich and the poor, and the application of the principle of prudence in the development of science and technology, etc. The study believes that when the new perspective of environmental protection is deeply rooted in the mind and transformed into a long-term conscious action of the human beings, the sustainable development of human and environment could truly become a reality.
