This paper attempts to present sociological approach that explain causes of present environmental crises and its possible solutions with reference to the interconnectedness between social structure and natural environments. Bearing heavily on New Ecological Paradigm, this paper confirms that the environmental problems are at root social problems, for resources depletion and pollutions representing present environmental crisis originate in human behaviour. In addition, it is also noted that environmental problems have important implications for other social problems, such as unequal burdening of costs of scarcity and pollution among different social groups and categories.
