Why are the 1990s called the "Decade of the Environment"?
Since the early 2000, environmental protection is not considered an optional extra, but an essential part of the complex process of doing business. Nowadays, we want to reduce pollution, find new ways to source our energy, and create a sustainable planet.

Activist groups have come up, which are people or organisations acting to bring about social, political, economic or environmental change.
