The largest Social Movement of all time !





The Green Movement is considered to be the most influential social phenomenon in history.

Now humanity has recognised that the greatest enemy of humanity is Man himself, the human negative aspect. Who is our real enemy ? Global Warming, water shortages, resource depletion, pollution & overpopulation - dangers caused by human intervention ! We are the masters of our own Fate ! We have to change our attitudes and have more respect for Almighty Nature and her workings. After all, she gave birth to mankind and is protecting us. Our behaviour towards Nature must change. Remember what Shaw said " God created a perfect Heaven and it is only man's foolishness which prevents us from making it a Paradise ".

We extoll democracy, but believe in the dictatorship of the Ego ! We talk socialism but are capitalistic minded. We talk about environmental awareness but go on destroying ecosystems, flora and fauna. In us, there is inner war, between our positive and negative aspects.

The Environment Movement has been defined as the First Global Revolution. It was in relative obscurity a decade ago. Now it has blossomed into a great movement, spawning thousands of organisations and has millions of activists.

If we adopt a one child policy for the next two generations, population can be controlled. If we go on at this rate ( in resource depletion, population growth, mass urbanisation, industrialisation, pollution and food production ), there will be limits to growth. We have to alter these growth trends and establish a condition of ecological and economic stability, to save our planet ! Will we wake up to the call of Gaia ?
