This famous quote, often attributed to Albert Einstein, highlights the holistic and interconnected nature of the environment.
Brief Explanation: It suggests that the "environment" is not a separate entity but encompasses the entire external world—physical, biological, and social—that surrounds an individual.
Legal Alignment: This perspective aligns with Section 2(a) of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, which defines the environment as including water, air, and land, and the "inter-relationship" existing between them and human beings, other living creatures, and property. It emphasizes that humans are part of a system, and any damage to that "everything else" eventually impacts the individual.
