> most environmentalists detest the tall buildings
I've seen it both ways. Some environmentalists hate single family homes and see suburban sprawl as the enemy. They'd rather have everyone packed into dense urban environments where anything a person will ever need in life is just a 15 minute walk/bike ride away from where they live eliminating the need for cars and leaving more land untainted by human interference. They'd be happy to do away with the inefficiencies of getting products, utilities, healthcare, and other resources to rural homes and communities spread out all over the place as well.
- renewiltord 2y agoThose environmentalists have no power in the environmentalism movement. If you check every large enviro-corp they're all of the "preserving community" approach. Most of them oppose nuclear. And a near majority wind and solar. Some even geothermal. Usually they fight for golf courses and so on alongside socialists. That is what environmentalism means in the US. It is like the words Democratic People's Republic. They're words. But they mean a different thing.
