a wonderful human being that cares for nature and wildlife - or just nature in general .
in short, Leonardo Dicaprio.

Get the environmentalist mug.A militant movement of environmentalist that seeks to gain world domination in order to save the world. By using force to stop people from destroying the environment. By attempting to destroy companies and governments who are destroying the environment etc. The E.L.F. is one such but not the most militant organization in the movement.

Get the Militant Environmentalist movement mug.The propensity for sustainability practitioners to equate sustainability with environmental sustainabilty, at the expense of all other aspects of sustainability. Equally critical sustainability dimensions are overlooked or marginalised, potentially leading to unintended consequences or incomplete sustainability efforts. Sustainability becomes purely about being green.
The environmentalisation of sustainability efforts across the EU results in a myopic focus on carbon-related aspects of sustainability, resulting in a "tunnel vision" effect.

Get the tangible environmentalism mug.The view that economic solvency implies environmental sustainability, asserting that dense, solvent urban development is environmentally superior to subsidized car infrastructure and, by extension, Levittown-style development. Many "gray environmentalists" do not care about the environment at all, but rather their preferred policies simply have positive environmental externalities (e.g. a libertarian approach to land use results in more efficient, and therefore less sprawling, development and infrastructure).
Gray Environmentalists argue that per-capita environmental impact is most limited in these dense, walkable, communities, not because there is a deliberate effort, but instead due to factors such as car independence (as opposed to car dependence) and central heating (even if minimal, as in duplexes). Proponents also argue that denser development frees more space for parks and recreational centers, thereby creating a greater potential for green space, whether in the community or immediately outside of it.
Gray Environmentalists differ sharply from the more well-known Green Environmentalists, who are in favor of increased regulation, a "return to nature", and frequently view nature as more innocent, and therefore superior, to human lives.

"Did you hear that high birthrates and immigration are causing overpopulation?! We need more living space!"
"Adolf, ever hear Gray Environmentalism? Build up, and not into Poland."
"Ja, but kill enough people and we get lower carbon output!"
"Or, hear me out, maybe don't build the autobahn?"
