who had said think globally and act locally
Think globally, act locally The first use of the phrase in an environmental context is disputed. Some say it was coined by David Brower,[7] founder of Friends of the Earth, as a slogan for FOE[8] when it was founded in 1969,[citation needed] although others attribute it to René Dubos in 1977[9]. Canadian "futurist" Frank Feather also chaired a conference called "Thinking Globally, Acting Locally" in 1979 and has claimed the paternity of the expression.[10] Other possible originators include French theologian Jacques Ellul.[11]
