Michael Hanlon

Environmentalism, apocalyptic environmentalism in particular, has become the dominant religion of supposedly secular people in the West.

Michael Shellenberger

Indians have no monopoly on environmentalism. That's one of the great myths. But we were subsistence livers. They're two different things. Environmentalism is a conscious choice and subsistence is the absence of choice. We had to use everything to survive. And now that we've been assimilated and colonized and we have luxuries and excesses, we're just as wasteful as other people.

Sherman Alexie

I don't believe in environmentalism as the solution to anything. What I believe is that environmentalism illuminates the things that need to be done to solve all of the problems together.

Barry Commoner

Frank Herbert

Sherman Alexie

Catherine L. Albanese

I'm sick of environmentalism.

Tracey Ullman

Environmentalism has failed.

David Suzuki

Environmentalism isn't a discipline or specialty. It's a way of seeing our place in the world. And we need everybody to see the world that way. Don't think 'In order to make a difference I have to become an environmentalist.'

David Suzuki

If environmentalism is a fad, it will be the last one.

Barry Commoner

When we work all over the planet, it's mostly poor and black and brown and young people, because that's mostly what the world [environmentalism] is.

Bill McKibben

It has made mincemeat of Barack Obama's pose of thoughtfulness. It has demonstrated that he lacks even a rudimentary understanding of the most basic economic realities. It has dramatized environmentalism's descent into infantilism.

George Will
