plz explain me the summary of the ailing planet: the green movement's role in simple words.
Dear Student,
The Ailing Planet is essentially about how humans have changed the Earth over time due to their wrong approach towards the environment. The Green Movement of 1972 was officially the first time the world reflected on their actions and decided to change their attitude towards the environment, to preserve it for the future generations. Every aspect of the environment, be the forests, the rivers, the animals or the land had began degrading and the only solution is to conserve the environment and also bring down the population of the world. Because more the people, more resources of the Earth will be used and degraded. There are also laws laid down to support this movement, like Article 48 of Indian Constitution. It is the survival of the planet that has to be prioritised now. It is an Era of Responsibility, with the industrialists being the most responsible. Lester Brown states it very well, 'We have not inherited this Earth from our forefathers; we have borrowed it from our children'.
Regards
