In response to this phenomenon, the following aspects of our province will work hard to reverse this situation: First, the external environment for optimal control law. Strengthen propaganda to abide by the law in the whole society, civilization, law enforcement, administration of a good atmosphere, relying on supervision by the masses to enhance awareness of all levels of government according to law. Second is to improve the performance evaluation system. Environmental indicators into all levels of party and government "in charge" objective assessment of the content, appropriate weakening economic indicators in the assessment of the weight, thus sacrificing the environment for the Eradication of GDP in the soil, pollution containment performance party and government leaders impulse.

Fourth, efforts to increase the accountability of officials of the environment. Strengthen environmental law enforcement supervision cases to interfere with efforts to actively cooperate with the discipline inspection and supervision departments to carry out environmental accountability, the accountability act to make the environment a variety of additional costs to bear than the other "income" fundamentally put an end until the elimination of "Guzhen Phenomenon" occurred.
