Radical environmentalism is a movement that advocates for significant changes to protect the environment, often challenging traditional practices and policies. Proponents believe that urgent action is necessary to address issues like climate change, deforestation, and pollution. They may support direct action, such as protests or civil disobedience, to raise awareness and push for environmental reforms. This movement often emphasizes the interconnectedness of all living things and the importance of preserving natural ecosystems. Influential figures in radical environmentalism include groups like Earth First! and Greenpeace, which focus on activism and grassroots efforts to promote sustainability and environmental justice.
