In the last post, "Green Movement" A Scam, 2020 Trend or Global Crisis, we stated in order to understand the actual definition, we need to look at the history. So without further delay let's go back in time!
Around 1492 and 1502, Columbus discovered America, per Wikipedia, Voice of America, and many other sources. Yet due to the size of the continent, people, and land, The New World, was itself strange to explorers of that time, especially to the European explorers.
When European people started migrating to America's, they found Native Americans to be different in many aspects such as their language, dress, skin color, body types, beliefs, food, and etc. Native Americans have been living on this land for 1,000's of years if not 10,000's of years, historically speaking, but the way they lived was completely different from Europeans. They relied heavily on taking care of the land, air and water. To many Native Americans tribes, their belief was (is) if you hurt/damage the nature, you are hurting the dead/spirits, because when one dies, their body becomes part of nature.
In British, the belief and the norm was different; human beings are on the top of the chain. Human beings have the power to do whatever they want, which is true, but with every action there is a reaction. They migrated to Americas and took over without learning how to handle the new land. Slavery was brought over to do menial and labor jobs, Manufacturing took over, factories started popping all over without proper regulations, and before long cars took over the country.
As there is a saying, we all learn from our mistakes, after all we are just human beings, not gods. Before the laws got enforced, our waters were already damaged with garbage, oil spills, manufacturing wastes, and to make matters worse, huge organizations started lobbying protection against the nature in the name of creating jobs, cheap products, and "throw away after one use."
We let that slide and now so much of our environment has become extremely damaged, which is negatively effecting the air we breath, the foods we eat (especially sea food), moreover, we have taken everything for granted without realizing what we have today may not be there tomorrow.
