Talk:Environmentalist

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am putting my best perspective in the article which I hope id NPOV. It is based on my experiences here in New Zealand and what I have read from other countries. I am of the opinion that the differences around the world may be subtle and the differences are only a false perception by those who deride the environmental movement.

[edit] Eco-terrorism?!

Is there really a need to include a mention of eco-terrorism on the environmentalism article? Not only is it a highly loaded and controversial word - it's debatable whether violence or threats of violence against specific people or companies is terrorism or just ordinary crime - it's also not at all fair to say that such people make up anything other than a tiny sliver of a minority of people who would call themselves environmentalists (who range from conservatives to socialists to kids with a passion about nature). Besides, the entire section was in garbled text with strange characters and a lack of spacing. I'm going to remove the section for now, but would prefer a discussion on the issue.

[edit] Merge into environmentalism

Environmentalism is a higher level concept than environmentalist. I think environmentalist should be merged into environmentalism not the other way round.
