摘要

Having laid out the severe challenges that threaten the sustainability of many species, including our own, Chap. 4 addresses grassroots efforts to build an effective and united fightback against the growing ecocrises that are occurring globally. The chapter addresses a simple question about an enormously complex problem. In the face of the staggering threats facing health and environmental sustainability, what is to be done? The dominant characteristics of grassroots heath activism are analyzed and an array of health activist groups, their goals, successes, and limitations are discussed. Subsequently, beginning with Love Canal the evolution of the environmental health movement is examined, followed by an exploration of the lessons of COVID-19.
