Episode 31: A Brief History of Environmental Activism

Human beings have been fighting to protect our planet for centuries -- from incorporating environmental anecdotes in 9th century texts to current global mobilization, striking and protesting -- we will do almost anything to conserve our resources and shared environmental spaces. Today on our show, we take a step back from the doom and gloom of climate change and talk about the history of environmental activism and some of the movement's greatest victories. Tune in to learn about the literature, litigation and legislation that evolved out of the conservation movement and how we can continue to keep saving our world!
