Eco Definition
German zoologist Ernst Haeckel, who in 1866 coined the term oekologie from the Greek oikos, meaning “home, place to live.” Haeckel was thinking primarily of the “homes” of animals, but by the time the word translated into English in 1875 (initially spelled “oecology”), its meaning had broadened to embrace plant habitats as well.
The related term ecosystem was proposed by the British botanist Arthur Tansley, 60 years after one of his own professors first translated Haeckel’s oekologie. It may have been ecosystem, which treats eco- as a prefix to a standard English word, that gave English speakers permission to do the same in coining a host of other terms... (Via Merriam-Webster)

Planet Earth
- 50+ years since the Apollo Mission surprised us with a first-ever "Earthrise" view of our home planet
GreenPolicy360: We remember, as we watched Apollo missions in 1968 and 1969, how our views of who we were as citizens changed. We saw, for the first time, our Earth rising.
'Earthrise' as seen from Apollo 8 was a magic moment, a Whole Earth vision, and a beginning of the modern Environmental Movement.
