"The green movement is 'out-of-touch, ineffective and bureaucratic', according Charles Secrett, a campaigner who spent a decade leading 'Friends of the Earth' in the UK, which celebrates its 40th anniversary on Wednesday.

"He later told the Guardian:

"The evidence of failure is there for all to see, as environmental problems are getting worse, not better. Previous dips during recessions have seen the movement bounce back stronger than before, [but] it is very tough now. There is no time left, as the degradation of the environment has reached a tipping point."
