In the first step, frequency and frequency percentage of all employers at three levels of completely related fields of education (including environmental science and environmental health), semi-related fields of education and unrelated fields of education were investigated in three groups of central headquarters, organizations and regions according to the information received from the planning deputy of Karaj municipality. In the second step, the relationship between education and work responsibility of experts and heads of the responsible departments for environmental protection was investigated. The results showed that only 1% of the total personnel of Karaj Municipality have a specialty in completely related fields of study and 3.1% of them were graduates in semi-related fields of study. Only 8 (16.3%) of the 49 personnels with completely related fields of study, have been employed in their education-related responsibilities. The results also showed that only 5 (42%) of 12 heads of the departments or responsible personnels for environmental protection have education in completely related fields of study and only one of them were graduates in semi-related fields of study. This fact indicates the lack of attention of municipal managers to the existing organizational chart and non-regulation of the responsibilities distribution especially in the environment and health field. Based on the research results, reviewing and modifying the process of personnel recruitment and using managers and experts with a relevant specialty in the Karaj municipality is necessary as the first prerequisite for managing and preserving the environment to achieve sustainable development.

The research method is survey-descriptive. The statistical population includes the libraries of level one universities of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology and the Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education in terms of space, equipment and manpower. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data. Then the data obtained were analyzed at the level of descriptive statistics with SPSS software and by calculating the mean, standard deviation, absolute frequency and frequency percentage. The research findings showed that the central library of level one university of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology and the Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education are not in a good condition due to the green components and the standard lead. To have a green academic library, one should start by promoting green thinking and culture in the society, because many of our problems in this field are rooted in culture and misuse of natural and non-renewable resources. The results of the present study can inform libraries about their current situation that how they are far from the ideal situation and use the strategies presented in this study to implement a green library to have a green academic library. We do not necessarily have to start with a green building, these libraries have green missions and they can be known as the green library by implementing several green components in their library.
