               excellent means of communicating environmental issues to the public. 37.9%
               of the respondents think that Facebook has become a good reason, but the
               same percentage of other respondents think that it has become a reason for
               this purpose only to some extent. However, 6.9% of the respondents denied
               this idea.

               According to 18.3% of the respondents, Facebook has been able to gather the
               public opinion very well. 40% of the respondents thought that it had done
               well  in  gathering  public  opinion,  and  another  40%  thought  it  had  been
               successful only to some extent. Only 1.7% of the respondents rejected the
               idea.

               excellent  work. Another  41.7%  thought  the  contribution  of  Facebook  was
               good. But  the majority  (45%) thought  that it contributed to  environmental
               justice only to some extent. 1.7% of the respondents thought Facebook had
               no contribution towards this matter at all.

               another  32.8%  of  them,  however,  sometimes  there  are  limitations  and
               restrictions on this matter. 25.9% of respondents clearly mentioned that there
               are  limitations  and  restrictions  in  using  Facebook  for  the  above  purpose.
               Personal  restrictions  or  limitations  were  seen  as  the  major  reason  by  the
