Greed
Lawyer and environmental activist M.C. Mehta contrasts protecting and inhabiting nature with exploiting and removing from nature. According to Mr. Mehta, this is a choice between oneness and greed.
M.C. Mehta is an attorney in the Supreme Court of
India, one of the founders of the Indian Council for Enviro-Legal
Action (ICELA), and director of the M.C. Mehta Environmental Foundation
in New Delhi. M.C.’s landmark environmental cases in the Supreme Court
of India have resulted in the protection of India’s natural and
cultural treasures – including the Ganges River and the Taj Mahal –
from the adverse effects of pollution. An ardent supporter of
alternative energy he brought about the transition of New Delhi's
transport system (buses, rickshaws etc.) to become the largest green
based transit system in the world.
