"...How can they survive in the society without jobs? So in a word, our country need to take some measures to optimize industrial structure and develop people's awareness of protecting environment. Try to maintain balance between human beings and those existing ecosystems.What's more, urge factories to attach great importance to their producing process. Try their best to make the manufacturing process more environmental friendly. Unswervingly pursue the scientific outlook on development, and build an environmental-friendly society."

I think the context points towards "our country". Is it not obvious? (I thought it is.)

It seems that you are quoting a dialogue between father and son. Spoken language is quite different from written language, though I can see what you are getting at.
