The Whole Earth Movement emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, focusing on environmental awareness and sustainability. It aimed to promote a holistic view of the planet, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all life forms and ecosystems. This movement encouraged individuals to consider their impact on the Earth and to adopt more sustainable practices. Key figures in the movement included Stewart Brand, who published the influential Whole Earth Catalog. This publication provided resources and information on sustainable living, ecology, and self-sufficiency. The movement laid the groundwork for modern environmentalism and continues to inspire efforts toward ecological balance and social responsibility.
