A social delemma occurs when individual rational actions made for their short-term private interests have long-term cumulative effects which destroy the environment and injure the individuals themselves as well as others. Theoretically, the social dilemma represents a paradox in terms of collective goods. Y.Hirose makes a hasty conclusion that local environmental issues can be said to have social dilemmas from the standpoint of researches based on social psychology. People's lifestyie，believed to be exclusively responsible for the environmental issues by Hirose，should be thought to have to do with less than half the issues. The rest should be attributed chiefly to the state and large enterprises that govern the present socioeconomic system. In other words，local and global environmental issues are caused by social relationships such as power，property and the production and distribution of wealth rather than the tragedy of the commons--the prototype of the social dilemma. In order to solve the issues，each of us should make sense of their essence. As a conclusion，in this paper，I try to define the essence of local environmental issues concerning water supply，energy-saving and water pollution.
