Brief history of environmentalism.

Environmentalism has ancient roots in civilizations like Native American tribes and ancient Chinese philosophy, which emphasized living in harmony with nature.

In the modern era, concerns about pollution and resource depletion led to the emergence of the environmental movement.

The publication of "Silent Spring" in the mid-20th century by Rachel Carson brought attention to the devastating effects of pesticides on the environment and inspired new environmental legislation.

Today, the environmental movement addresses a broad range of issues, from climate change to biodiversity loss.
