A video explaining the history of environmentalism

Here you go.

About the speaker:

Robert J. Smith, Director of the Center for Private Conservation, explains in this short video how the modern environmentalist movement began in America. A celebrated author and environmental historian, Smith shows how the antiwar movement during the 1960s evolved into an anti-capitalism movement that pushed for public stewardship of the environment.

  1. This is another of those stupid ideas that say that anything that don’t agree with our ideals is communist. Far right politics is just like communism because they too say that if your not for us you are against us…

    We are destroying the planet and keep fooling ourselves with delusional ideas. When we wake up it will be too late. Chances are that we turn against each other blaming everyone except blaming us. Capitalism don’t care about the planet, they don’t have a choice. Period. Only regulated capitalism, regulated by the people and for the people has any chance of attaining real conservation. There are many examples of environmental mistakes of capitalism.

    1. That’s the point of the video, communism is just as bad if not worse for the environment. Look at China, Russia, and any other communist countries.
