                   Sujata found that a small fashion house in her town was dumping waste in the nearby river thus polluting their only
                   source of fresh water. She and a group of town people now want to complain against the fashion house. Where should
                   she file her complaints?


                           Lab Activity                                                                  Interdisciplinary



                       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 discuss 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.
