Plants have adaptations to help them survive (live and grow) in different areas. Adaptations are special features that allow a plant or animal to live in a particular place or habitat. These adaptations might make it very difficult for the plant to survive in a different place. This explains why certain plants are found in one area, but not in another. For example, you wouldn't see a cactus living in the Arctic. Nor would you see lots of really tall trees living in grasslands.

environmentalism is a religion because just like religion...a person also..follows environmentalism
objective environmentalism is the power of people in which you are organized by them
The third movement of environmentalism is driven by businesses.
Conservationism puts people in charge of their environment. Environmentalism puts the environment over all.
Environmentalism is a movement, not a person. If you want to identify a person who is involved with environmentalism, that person would be called an environmentalist. Some good examples are Ralph Nader, Al Gore, David Suzuki.
The main theory of environmentalism is showing concern for the environment. Including the ides of preserving, improving and restoring the Earth and everything in it.
Although there are many minor political parties committed to environmentalism the one that stands out is the ecology party.

environmentalism
Environmentalism may have started with the invention of Earth Day in 1970. It is also thought that a book released at the time about a dangerous pesticide helped start the movement.
Environmentalism has been around since the early 1600's. It has, however, begun as a serious movement for the past 70-80 years.
