-==History==
-The environmental movement has its roots in the [[19th century]].<ref name="mtmultipleuse1">{{cite web|url=http://www.mtmultipleuse.org/endangered/esahistory.htm |title=History of Environmentalism |publisher=Mtmultipleuse.org |date= |accessdate=2012-01-05}}</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 name="mtmultipleuse1"/> Environmental problems had been illustrated in books such as [[Silent Spring]] and there was a [[Back-to-the-land movement|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 2013, only incremental progress has so far been made, although 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==
-Many environmentally-friendly technologies, such as electric cars, [[solar power]], [[geothermal energy]], [[wind power]], [[vertical farming]], [[recycling]], [[permaculture]], [[hydroponics]], [[Efficient energy use|energy-efficient]] technology such as [[fluorescent lighting]] and [[LEDs]] and [[high speed rail]] have been implemented or have become mainstream in Western countries since 1980. Developing nations have also embraced these technologies, and China has become the world's leading manufacturer of winf turbines and solar-electric panels in the 21st century.<ref http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/31/business/energy-environment/31renew.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0</ref>
