This photo is related to the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. Riley Gallup, author of the article, "At 40, Environmental Movement Endures, With Less Consensus," talks about how over the past 10 years, the population's concern for environmental problems has gone down. One particular factor, the downturn of the economy, has played a major role in this decrease, but from survey's listed, "62% of people believe that the environmental movement has done more good than harm." Do these factors equal out? The environmental movement is on the way to becoming a concern again, but there has to be more done to encourage people to become involved and active in the movement itself. Although there has been a "rise in negative views of the environmental movement, there has been considerable stability in personal environmental behaviors and activism." The need to promote and ground in the environmental movement has made progress because people are remaining aware of occurring problems. What we need to focus on is making people realize there must be respect towards the land and the environment and an appreciation for what we have available.
