Training Programme for volunteers ‐ “Resilient Green villages in India”
The environmental crisis is an outward manifesta�on of a crisis of mind and spirit. There could
be no greater misconcep�on of its meaning than to believe it to be concerned only with
endangered wildlife, man‐made ugliness, and pollu�on. These are part of it, but more
importantly, the crisis is concerned with the kind of creature that man is and what we must
become in order to survive”.
