Globalization has massively affected developing countries both positively and negatively. More horribly, the negative effects tend to be more than the positive effects. This study analyses the negative effects of globalization and as well as the efforts taken by Tanzania Government to maintain good harmony with the environment. Rich countries have imposed development projects to the countries which were not prepared technologically to fit with such projects for sustainable development. Apart from environmental problems, globalization has brought conflicts, destroyed cultures of Tanzanians as well as producing less innovative generation. Tanzania has slightly not passed the period for innovation for its own development, instead, most things were imposed and hence the generation is less innovative to bring positive ideas and technologies to protect the environment. Surprisingly, the developed countries are not concerned with imposing technology to protect environment from their activities since they are just concerned with ‘‘more and more and even more’’ profit from these developing countries. Although the country cannot wind back the clock, but it can invest much in scientific researches to one university specifically for real or serious innovation for sustainable development and not ‘‘political’’ innovation. More importantly, the country need to include in the Would-Be-New Constitution express clearly and elaborate provisions providing the mandate for protection, conservation and management of the environment in Tanzania to the government and citizens rather than depending on an Environmental Management Act of 2004
