Abstract
An adequate and effective environmental movement must focus on resolving problems in the relationship between man and his natural environment in a way that will end human exploitation. Once the environmentalist has set overall humanitarian goals, he should follow the strategies of successful political activists, such as choosing a poputlar issue, building grassroots support, timing, crisis precipitation, flexibility, and openness to legal aid or negotiation. In short, the "environmental professional" man must become the "political" man (or woman) in order to promote human welfare, argues the authora committed activist.Keywords
