Hi! I am planning to move content currently in the "Critique of environmentalism" section of Environmental justice to the criticism and alternative views part of this page without much revision of the content. If anyone has any thoughts or concerns, please let me know. Zaelzo ( talk) 17:57, 24 June 2022 (UTC) reply

Planning to move forward with this shortly. Zaelzo ( talk) 05:12, 25 June 2022 (UTC) reply

Done, if anyone has any thoughts feel free to share them here. I kind of think the See also section is like a less helpful version of the Green politics template so I'm not really sure what purpose it serves. The Michael Chricton paragraph seems like potentially undue weight since it is only about his opinion. Zaelzo ( talk) 05:41, 25 June 2022 (UTC) reply

Good move but the section is weak. I agree with you on Chricton. A wider problem seems to me due to the fact that the page fails to provide an interpretation of the broad catalogue of environmentalists' ideas and the criticism section adds to the catalogue rather than an interpretation. It tends to portray criticism directed to a (non existing) single or main perspective. I have recently rewritten the Italian page ( ambientalismo, hopefully you may machine translate it) drawing extensively from solid textbooks. The criticism is not yet covered but the fundamental threads of E. are, attempting to go beyond the catalogue approach. Perhaps it may offer some ideas. Tytire ( talk) 21:53, 30 June 2022 (UTC) reply
