Question

What was the name of environmental activist who followed Mahatma Gandhi?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Kumarappa

Kumarappa has strong claims to being considered the first Gandhian environmentalist; as his work is largely unhonored and forgotten today, a brief assessment is perhaps not out of place here.

Answer 2

Answer:

Edward Carpenter, who was influenced by John Ruskin and Hindu mysticism, also wanted to lead a life that was simple and close to nature. His critique of civilization was a major influence on Gandhi's first book Hind Swaraj. Carpenter, a socialist, was also an early animal rights activist.
