Politics

Politics can be defined as a process through which a group of individuals make a collective decision regarding various social divisions. One of the divisions of political decisions is the environment and decisions that affect or surround the environment. Environmental politics can be defined as having three core values:

1. political theories and ideas related to the environment,
2. political parties and environmental social movements, and
3. policy design and implementation affecting the environment.

One of the major social movements is environmentalism, which has a goal of influencing politics in order to ensure environmental consideration. Environmentalism focuses on protection of natural resources and ecosystems as well as dealing with issues of global warming and genetic engineering. The belief in environmentalism has led to global environmental and conservation movements (including ‘going green’) that focus on environmental sustainability, restoration, and conservation.

In this category, you can let your voice be heard on topics that relate to political decisions and how they have or might help or hurt the environment. As well, you can discuss environmentalism and present environmental movements.
