1. You must have heard about the famous 'Chipko movement', a forest conservation movement that
began in India in 1973 in which the demonstrators hugged the trees to prevent them from being cut
down. Conduct a thorough discussion of how they fought non-violently to stop the destruction of forests with your
teacher and among your classmates. Also research other such well-known movements in which demonstrators
stood up for the preservation of nature.
2. Create a presentation on 'Vandana Shiva'. Vandana Shiva, an Indian scholar, environmental activist, and world
renowned author, among other things, has been hailed as one of the leading voices in the field of green living. Her
support for Ecofeminism, a political movement that promotes a collaborative environmental society—demanding
that women be recognised equal and active members—is one of her most notable achievements. "We are either
going to have a future where women lead the way to make peace with the Earth, or we are not going to have a
human future at all," Shiva famously said. Her published work, including publications such as Earth Democracy:
Justice, Sustainability, and Peace, would be an excellent starting point for your environmental journey.
