Green Movement

Introduction

The green movement is a diverse movement that forwards the concerns of environmentalists, that is, persons who see the integrity of the non-human world as worthy of preservation both for its own sake and for the sake of human survival. Its membership is extremely diverse: scientists, political activists, rich and poor persons in all countries, and people with many different religious philosophies.

Since the 1980s, global climate change has been one of the green movement’s main concerns. Other concerns include organic agriculture, pollution, preservation of both multi-use undeveloped landscapes and wild places, protection of endangered species, resistance to genetic modification of crops and livestock, and opposition to nuclear power. The movement comprises an array of political parties, advocacy organizations, and individual activists operating on international, national, and local levels. Unified by a desire to protect the environment, but otherwise diverse in philosophy and strategy, the various factions of the green movement have succeeded in heightening public awareness of environmental issues, have won some significant legal victories, and have influenced government policies, especially in Europe.

Historical Background And Scientific Foundations

The green movement emerged in the 1960s and 1970s. Its growth was driven by popular and scientific concerns about local and global degradation of the physical environment. However, history is dotted with incidents of what we would now call environmental protest or activism, such as the efforts by the American naturalist John Muir (1838–1914) and others in the late nineteenth century to establish the U.S. National Park Service. Moreover, conservational groups have long campaigned to preserve natural environments and wild species. In Europe, organizations such as Friends of Nature and the National Trust date back to the nineteenth century.

The relative newness of a broad green movement can be seen by examining citations under “environment” listed in the New York Times index. In 1955, the word is not indexed; the newspaper did not discuss environmental issues. In fact, the Oxford English Dictionary does not list any use of the word environment as a synonym for nature until 1956. In 1960, the New York Times used the word once; in 1965, twice. But in succeeding years, use of the word grew rapidly. By 1970, the year of the first Earth Day, the U.S. National Environmental Policy Act, and the establishment of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, there were 86 citations for the environmental movement. In 1990 there were 172; by 2001 there were more than 3,000. Increased media coverage of environmental issues has reflected a growing public concern for the environment and a blossoming green movement.
