The social mentality survey of Beijing residents in 2013 shows that residents have a strong sense of ecological crisis，environmental problems have caused strong negative emotions，the self-consciousness of protection behavior is increasing，but measures to prevent the damage to the environment is not enough. In the future，we need to further strengthen residents’environmental awareness，improve environmental policies and regulations，foster the consciousness of “environmental protection is everyone’s responsibility”，increase the incentives for environmental action，develop the folk environmental forces，and guide residents to change environmental intentions into actual environmental behavior.
