Is Green Here to Stay?

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses how the "Green Movement" encompasses the ideology of ecology, conservation, environmental concerns, the feminist movement, and peace movement and comments that if it sounds like the hippies of the 1960s grown up, it is probably at least partially true. The paper further notes that everything is going "green" from building materials to political parties and that the "green" ticket is the rallying cry for those that support environmentalism, sustainable living, nonviolence, and humanitarian concerns. In addition, the paper notes that actors and politicians alike endorse the green movement which has also invaded pop culture and appears to be here to stay, and that the conflict arises because we live in a consumer-oriented society. This research explores the green movement and its future.

From the Paper:

"One of the key hallmarks of the green movement is that they will not allow trade-offs for any reason other than humanitarian. The Green movement places concern for the environment at the top of their list. It is difficult to argue their cause. Who in their right mind would not be concerned about destruction of the resources that we need to live on planet earth? Although one cannot question their key motives, some say that they take things too far."
