"Environmentalism is a broad philosophy, ideologyand
social movement
regarding concerns for environmental
conservation
and improvement of the health of the
environment,
particularly as the measure for this health seeks to incorporate the
concerns of non-human elements. Environmentalism advocates the
preservation, restoration and/or improvement of the natural
environment, and may be referred to as a movement to control
pollution.
For this reason, concepts such as a
Land Ethic,
Environmental Ethics,
Biodiversity,
Ecology
and the
Biophilia hypothesis
figure predominantly. At its crux, environmentalism is an attempt to
balance relations between humanity and their broader organismic and
biogeochemical milieu in such a way that all the components are
accorded a proper degree of respect. The exact nature of this
balance is controversial and there are many different ways for
environmental concerns to be expressed in practice. Environmentalism
and environmental concerns are often represented by the color
green,
but this association has been appropriated by the marketing
industries and is a key tactic in the art of
Greenwashing."
