The central tenet of the environmental movement is the call for a sustainable approach to the management of the natural world. Humanity’s use of, and impact on, natural resources, is seen as damaging the eco-system on which we and future generations depend for survivial.

Issues that environmental groups might work on include a more sustainable approach to resource extraction, especially fossil fuels; reducing the negative impact of the release of man-made products into the environment, such as pesticides or waste or the protection of land, flora and fauna.

Today, the call for us to live more sustainable lifestyles in the West is becoming ever more urgent as the impacts and consequences of consuming excessive resources, such as climate change, species destruction, and its damaging impact on the developing world intensify.
