People involved in the hippie movement were, as long ago as the 1960s, part of the environmental movement. It could be argued that the recent trend towards recycling and adopting lifestyle changes to reduce humanity’s impact on the natural world has sprung from that movement, however risible it seemed to many Americans at the time. Many of the elements of hippie counterculture, such as an anti-corporate ideology and the anarchic, experimental, libertarian strands, have been diluted to the point of disappearance in communities that have otherwise grown the seeds of change planted almost fifty years ago into 21st century plants. However, many aspects of alternative cultures that were shocking in the 1960s have now become acceptable in mainstream society. Even the psychedelic drug use that characterized some hippies is being investigated by academic institutions for its medical benefits. <ref> http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1612717,00.html </ref>
