Transformation of American environmentalism during last half of the twentieth century.
There is no cap on how long the essay should be. You may write as much as you need to, but the essay should be a minimum of 1500 words. Your response should be in essay format (meaning it has paragraphs and is not simply an outline or list of bullet points). Use 12-point, Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with one-inch margins. For quotes, simply put the page number in parentheses at the end of the sentence like so (37).
Discuss the transformation of American environmentalism during last half of the twentieth century. What were the goals and challenges of post-WWII Conservationism? What is new or different about the Environmental Movement of the 1960s and 1970s? What has been the effect of the rise and expansion of neoliberalism during the 1980s, 1990s, and beyond? What actions did Americans take (and not take) concerning the environment across this period? What have been the consequences?
