==History== |
|||
The environmental movement has its roots in the 19th-century. <ref>http://www.mtmultipleuse.org/endangered/esahistory.htm</ref> [[Robert Underwood Johnson]] and [[John Muir]] founded the [[Sierra Club]] in [[1892]] after successfully lobbying Congress to create [[Yosemite National Park]]. |
|||
The modern environmental movement began in the mid to late [[1960s]]. <ref>http://www.mtmultipleuse.org/endangered/esahistory.htm</ref> Environmental problems had been illustrated in books such as [[Silent Spring]] and there was a back to the land movement, closely associated with the [[Hippie movement]] and [[Counterculture]]. |
|||
By the [[1990s]], the need for [[green technology]] was realized, and the development of [[Electric cars]] and [[Alternative energy]] slowly began to become mainstream. As of the year [[2011]], only small progress has so far been made, though the first new electric cars were released to the public in [[2010]] and environmentalism has gone from being fringe to being completely mainstream, even embraced by conservative institutions such as the [[Roman Catholic Church]]. |
|||
==New technologies== |
|||
Aside from electric cars, [[solar power]], [[geothermal energy]], [[wind power]], [[vertical farming]], [[recycling]], [[Permaculture]], [[Hydroponics]], [[Energy-efficient]] technology such as [[fluorescent lighting]] and [[LEDs]] and [[High speed rail]] have been either proposed, used to some degree, or as in the case of recycling, have become mainstream over the past 30 years. |
