Green Movement

green movement

green movement Campaign to preserve the environment, and to minimize pollution or destruction of the Earth's natural habitat. The green movement formed its own active pressure groups, Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth, in the 1970s. It gained political representation shortly afterwards in the form of various European Green Parties. In affluent Western societies, effects of the movement included the production of environmentally safe products and a concern with the recycling of waste products such as glass, paper and plastics.
