• Environmentalism in this thesis is considered as a concept of social construction based on the social relationship between man and environment. ...

• Skeptical Environmentalism.
• In Skeptical Environmentalism, Robert Kirkman raises doubts about the speculative tendencies elaborated in environmental ethics, deep ecology, social ecology, postmodern ecology, ecofeminism, and environmental pragmatism. Drawing on skeptical principles introduced by David Hume, Kirkman takes issue with key tenets of speculative environmentalism, namely that the natural world is fundamentally relational, that humans have a moral obligation to protect the order of nature, and that understanding the relationship between nature and humankind holds the key to solving the environmental crisis. ... Exploring such themes as the way knowledge about nature is formulated, what characterizes an ecological worldview, how environmental worldviews become established, and how we find our place in nature, Skeptical Environmentalism advocates a shift away from the philosopher's privileged position as truth seeker toward a more practical thinking that balances conflicts between values and worldviews. ...

• Rather, Rothman presents environmentalism as a significant indicator of American values in this period. ... Indeed, the history of environmentalism is a fascinating story of the American process of political action; of a national dialogue about such fundamental issues as human health, technology, and the worth of nature; and of broad social change over time. ... Because Rothman brings the story up to the 1990s, and because environmentalism has become such a mainstream, but still contested, element in American culture, The Greening of a Nation? provides an effective tool for teaching students the value of historical perspective in evaluating current social and political issues. ...
• Environmentalism did not enter the mainstream of American politics and culture until the 1960s when certain individuals and groups helped popularize environmental causes. ... Mass media and popular culture also played an important role, affirming environmentalism as central to American values. In fact, Rothman argues that "of all the changes of the 1960s, environmentalism was second only to the transformation of the concept of indiv idual and group rights in the way in which it transformed American thinking and action" (p. ... Bipartisan support for such legislation as the Endangered Species Act of 1973 and the Clean Air Act of 1977 reflected a ge neral American consensus about environmentalism that would last until the backlash of the 1980s. ...
• Environmentalism experienced great success as an increasingly mainstream movement between 1945 and 1974, the period of the highest ever American affluence and of concern with a new idea that emerged from that privilege vaguely called "quality of life. ...
• Caught in the middle of environmentalism's unresolved tensions were the institutions charged with managing millions of acres of public land. ... Although they had previously relied on conservation groups as allies, the new environmentalism that emerged in the 1950s initiated waves of continuing public criticism of federal land management. Rothman brings to bear his background as a historian who has studied federal land agencies to make this chapter a useful examination of the federal government's role in postwar environmentalism. ...
• This is a book that broadens the definition of environmentalism from a political movement to a fundamental new consciousness in postwar American society. But Rothman questions whether environmentalism was truly a "green revolution," as Kirkpatrick Sale suggests in his book about the movement. ... The environment was cleaner and laws now protected the health of habitats, humans, and other species, but Americans embraced the idea of environmentalism more than the behavior required to sustain it. ... Just as important, environmentalism, like other political movements, paid a steep price for becoming part of popula r culture. ...

• of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and co-founder of Alternatives for Community and Environment), envisages a new direction for contemporary environmentalism.
• Shutkin begins by suggesting that environmentalism thus far has taken two trajectories: the romantic-progressive and the mainstream-professional. ... The mainstream-professional was restricted to the educated, affluent classes, and visualized environmentalism strictly in politico-legal terms. In place of these two models Shutkin suggests a civic environmentalism that takes into account racial, cultural, and regional inequalities.
• Since different ethnic/racial/cultural groups have different "conditions" and needs, and because they experience (biologically, economically, and culturally) problems like pollution and deprivation differently, a homogenizing (national) environmentalism will only perpetuate inequalities. ...
• His is not the environmentalism of the "radical ecology" mold. Rather his focus on social and racial inequalities in local environment approximates to what Ramachandra Guha and Juan Martinez-Alier term "the environmentalism of the poor. ... Under such conditions, environmentalism is rarely democratic. Shutkin's approach, on the other hand, involves the minority "voiceless" in decision-making because his environmentalism is rooted in local particularities. As such, civic environmentalism becomes truly democratic. ...
• The Land That Could Be is easily recommended for offering a genuine alter-native (with emphasis on both "option" and local/native) to contemporary environmentalism. ...

• We nowhave an opportunity, through NMEAC, to take a lead in encouraging dialogue toreevaluate the role of environmentalism in the community. ...
• Therefore, to gain an understanding of its present meaning, it isinstructive to revisit environmentalism's roots.
• For its role in thisprocess, environmentalism became known foremost as a political tool to producepublic policy reform.
• Though point-source pollution persists, once the most visible abuses had been reduced,environmentalism's focus gradually made a natural transition to the next tier ofconcerns. ...
• However, considering that the currentenvironmental focus has everything to do with how we live, there can be littlesurprise over the public vilification of environmentalism today. Thosepoliticians are right, environmentalism truly does represent a threat to theAmerican Way of Life. ...
• Weneed to acknowledge that environmentalism has come to symbolize two differentthings. ... Furthermore, as longas the public, upon whose support environmentalism depends, perceives theenvironmental movement's agenda as Something Else, no matter what that is, thensupport will never be given.
• If we examine environmentalism from theperspective of the environmentalist, another problem of the word's usage becomesevident. ... " When we use the word environmentalism, it is a symbol or metaphor whichincludes a given set of assumptions encoded within the word's meaning. Theseassumptions, and hence the word, guide the environmentalist in thought and actionrelative to how environmentalism is employed as atool.
• Environmentalism's assumptions include both root culturalthinking and thinking specific to environmentalism itself, for example:political/technical/scientific solutions based on global economics; for every newproblem, there is a solution (unlimited progress); environmentalism is a specialinterest activity; reliance on expert analysis and management; a global (Save theEarth) perspective; a focus on specific issues (a mall, a golf course, a sourceof pollution, an endangered species, the rain forest); and any given problemexists because of the action of others.

• Environmentalism in Landscape Architecture.
• More than forty years after the first signs of a new era in environmental thinking, landscape architects and the public at large continue to engage in ethical, practical, and metaphysical debates on what environmentalism really is and what it should be. ...
• The papers presented in this volume cover a wide range of concerns and perspectives, including proposals for new design approaches, historical analysis of the relationship between the practice of landscape architecture and environmentalism, and the theories of early practitioners of landscape architecture embued by an environmentalist outlook.
• This volume makes no attempt to be comprehensive in its survey of encounters between environmentalism and landscape architecture but, rather, it provides a fresh approach to the topic by allowing for a reframing of the issues through self-reflection instead of strategic debate.

• Environmentalism and the Mass Media.
• Environmentalism and the Mass Media throws new light on the way in which environmental ideas circulate in the United Kingdom and India. Using original research the book shows that the ideas of ‘environmentalism’ are too broad and imprecise to hold either meaning or currency, that the greater mass of the Indian people are not part of any global consensus on these issues, that their goal remains the attainment of development. If anything, ‘environmentalism’ is seen as neo-colonialism by other means. ...
• Environmentalism and the Mass Media outlines the differing cultural, religious and political contexts of Britain and India, against which different world-views form. ...

• Classifying Environmentalism: A Critical Introduction to Technocentrism and Ecocentrism.
• Environmentalism, ecocentrism, technocentrism.
• There is no single, unambiguous, universally-agreed definition of environmentalism (or cognate terms such as environmental and environmentalist). However, for the purposes of this Teaching and Learning Resource (TLR), environmentalism can be understood as referring to texts (in various media) and actions (undertaken by individuals or groups) of a broadly political nature that are – or are claimed to be – concerned in some way with conserving, improving, preserving, protecting or saving the ‘environment’. Of course, just as there are competing definitions of environmentalism, so there is also disagreement as to what constitutes the ‘environment’ - as well as what it means to conserve, improve, preserve, protect or save it - and, of course, the reasons advanced in support of such proposals and activity. Thus, what is called ‘environmentalism’ can actually be seen as a collection of many different environmentalisms (such as Deep Ecology, eco-anarchism, ecofeminism, eco-socialism, and free-market environmentalism); each with its own characteristic set of assumptions about the nature and cause of environmental ‘problems’, and the most appropriate response to those problems. ... ) This interpretation of ‘environmentalism’ is deliberately all-embracing, so that it includes, for example, activity associated with governmental / political organisations (including those not generally seen as being ‘green’) and business organisations (including those accused of causing the greatest environmental damage) – as well as the more obvious activity of environmental pressure groups. ...
• One of the best known, and most frequently cited, of these is Timothy O’Riordan’s division of environmentalism into the categories of technocentrism and ecocentrism. ... That is, it appears to assume the adequacy of the terms and the system more generally as a means of categorising the somewhat bewildering heterogeneity of contemporary environmentalism.
• The aim of this TLR is provide students with a introduction to the classification of contemporary environmentalism. It seeks to achieve this aim by inviting them to think critically about O’Riordan’s division of environmentalism into the categories of technocentrism and ecocentrism - in relation to their own beliefs, and the views advanced by a range of governmental, political, non-governmental and business organisations.
