Holistic approach to environmental issues are presented by identifying groups within the community who will become advocates and active participants of environmental conservation in order to guarantee sustainable national transformation. The principle of environmental education, strategies or creating environmental awareness, developing knowledge and skills in environmental conservation and the role of the grass root population on sustainable environmental conservation through traditional practices such as taboos, superstitions, was of recycling and proper dispositions of waste in the community are also discussed. Community environmental education and awareness as a panacea for national transformation is given prominence in the concluding part of the paper.
