Environmentalism as a modern redemptive movement
The piece argues environmentalism mirrors earlier ideological revolutions, tracing roots to Roosevelt and Pinchot, then shifts to a mass, anti capitalism movement fueled by 60s era activism and Carson’s Silent Spring. It labels deep divisions within conservation, urging a break from nature worship and a return to pragmatic stewardship to balance use and protection. The essay cites climate duty, animal welfare protests, and the need for common sense in balancing human progress with nature, warning against extremism.
