	Environmental movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Environmental movement is a term often used for any social or political movement directed towards the preservation, restoration, or enhancement of the natural environment.
		Most environmental movements have similar value systems and moral codes, and cite common heroes and moral examples in their myths, although they often diverge in details such as emphasis, priorities, means of action, and specific goals.
		Environmental Justice is a movement that began in the U.S. in the 1980s and seeks an end to environmental racism.

	Ecological Anthropology
		Ecological anthropology investigates the ways that a population shapes its environment and the subsequent manners in which these relations form the population’s social, economic, and political life (Salzman and Attwood 1996:169).
		Ecological anthropology is also a reaction to idealism, which is the idea that all objects in nature and experience are representations of the mind.
		Environmental determinism is based on the assumption that cultural and natural areas are coterminous, because culture represents an adaptation to the particular environment (Steward 1955:35).

	GBN: A Whole Earth View of the Environmental Movement
		Most historians inaugurate the environmental movement in the l960s; the decade in which ecology and economics melded, and the women's, anti-war, civil rights, and pro-democracy movements took shape.
		And unpredicted, the environmental movement strengthened both the democracy movement, especially in former communist nations, and "side agreements" on labor and health in international trade pacts.
		For instance, the movement to remove dams in the Pacific northwest of the U.S. compliments the movement to prevent new mega-dams in Asia.

	Salon People Feature \| Living in shimmering disequilibrium
		Despite the work done by the environmental movement over the past 30 years, the condition of the environment seems to be getting worse.
		You've said that if the environmental movement is to succeed it must go beyond its present focus on simply making the environmental argument and somehow join the environmental case to the spiritual impulse which you've described as central to human behavior and one of our most powerful drives.
		It's a fundamental distinction to be made between scientific environmentalism on the one hand and nonscientific, ideological- or religious-based anti-environmentalism or indifference on the other.

	WiseUse
		Environmentalism, like pastoral literature, was about those pastoral rural dwellers who produced dinner, dress and domicile for everyone, but was generated by the educated elite, not by those who lived the pastoral ideal.
		Environmentalism's ideology was promulgated for the ruling elite, not for the farmer or rancher or family forest owner or mineral prospector.
		As the environmental debate advances to maturity, the environmental movement must accept and incorporate many of these wise use precepts if it is to survive as a social and political force.

		Our ecological crisis is symptomatic of a deep crisis in human values and beliefs, and might call for as radical a stock-taking as the Amish have already done.

	WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: Reframing the Planet
		As the authors of The Death of Environmentalism (long PDF) argue, in the last fifteen years, the environmental movement has mostly been on the defensive, unable to much sway public opinion on the issues (like global warming) that matter most.
		Although I feel that the suggestions for moving the environmental movement along are excellent, I think to qualify the movement as a failure misses the larger picture.
		Another problem: maybe the environmentalist movement can convince an upper layer of "bourgeois" citizens in the West, who fall for the luxury aspect and for the sexyness of it (in Europe this is certainly the case), but if you bring that story to, say, booming China, I think a lot of people will laugh.

		For environmental organisations the most efficient and effective way of working, from an ecological point of view, is at a local level - it is easier to identify the problems and help with concrete solutions.

	REC: Beyond Borders: The Environmental Movement in Central Europe: Poland
		Throughout the now existing environmental movement in Poland we still find two general orientations; one traditional 'preservationist' approach, the other one a search for new cultural values and striving to change the civilization paradigm.
		The participation of the 'green' movement in political life, during the free elections in Poland, was not very successful.
		The fourth scenario is the possible diminishing of the environmental movement in Poland.

		Entitled "The Death of Environmentalism," the epistle was produced by longtime environmental activist Michael Shellenberger of the Breakthrough Institute in El Cerrito and Ted Nordhaus, vice president of Evans/McDonough, an opinion research firm.
		Considering the relative youth of the environmental movement, the notion of death and rebirth isn't as outrageous as it may seem.
		Such a frame would move "the environmental movement away from apocalyptic global warming scenarios that tend to create feelings of helplessness and isolation among would-be supporters," Shellenberger and Nordhaus contend.

		Theories of ecological feminism see the patriarchal domination of women and other social groups as parallel to man's exploitation of non-human nature'.
		Ecofeminists believe that environmental politics and philosophy are enriched by using gender as a focus, while also appreciating the necessity of an ecological dimension to any form of feminism.
		Ecological Feminism shows that the potential for a full understanding of man's domination of both women and the natural world can only be achieved by acknowledging the inextricable links between the two; it is important reading for feminists, philosophers and environmentalists alike.

		Published in anticipation of the forthcoming UN "Earth Summit" in South Africa, the report earned a wave of headlines for predicting that unless drastic measures are taken to curb human reproduction and consumption, by 2050 the Earth will "expire" — and humanity will be forced to colonize two earth-type planets elsewhere in the cosmos.
		And some of the environmental solutions offered by the WWF and its eco-radical comrades could be derived from the "mad scientist" premise frequently found in the horror genre.
		In familiar fashion, the WWF indicts "population growth" for causing humanity’s ecological "overdraft." More than a decade ago, Britain’s Prince Philip, who heads the WWF, grimly suggested that if he were to be reincarnated he would return as a "killer virus" with a mission to decimate the surplus human population.
