Environmental Groups are Flirting with Extinction

March 7, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Audubon, environmentalism, nature | 65 comments

https://chemxtree.com/4dvnd64 This April 22, Earth Day turns 44. The green movement is not aging well. Like today’s U.S. Republican Party, it has a diversity problem and speaks primarily to a narrow, graying demographic slice of the United States. In 2009, Francis Beinecke, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) said to the New York Times: Our groups… https://www.emilymunday.co.uk/b205c2aund Continue Reading…

The Allure of the Rural Idyll

February 12, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in agriculture, environment, farming, nature | 7 comments

https://municion.org/jvc1w6a8 When I want to escape the cacophony of civilization, I head to the country. I love to see all the grazing cows as I drive through a quaint rural backroad. The lush, wholesome scenery is exactly like the images on my organic milk and yogurt containers. Maybe I come across an antique shop, where I… Continue Reading…

The Persistence of a Popular Environmental Meme

December 2, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in ecology, environment, nature, science, select | 5 comments

There are certain tropes that linger in the public imagination long after they’ve been discredited. Such is the case with the “balance of nature.” In 2009, the ecologist John Kricher wrote a book about this “enduring myth,” and years before that, another ecologist, Daniel Botkin, published his seminal Discordant Harmonies in 1990, which I think was… Continue Reading…

Can We Let Go of Mother Nature?

April 3, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in environment, environmentalism, nature, select | 7 comments

https://www.scarpellino.com/z7u817tvj One of the first and best critiques I read of contemporary environmentalism appeared in a well known progressive magazine. The author took the green movement to task for its romanticization of nature and “its deep suspicion of all things technological.” He also criticized environmentalism’s demonization of biotechnology and the “crusade” waged against it, which he… https://municion.org/dkstwcxo7 Continue Reading…

Ecologies of the Mind

March 7, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in ecology, environmental history, environmental science, environmentalism, nature, select, wilderness | 11 comments

https://www.tomolpack.com/2025/03/11/xqyvn2y As a child of the suburbs, my first real contact with raw nature was in 5th grade, when a friend and I built a treehouse in the woods behind the apartment complex we lived in. (This was a two-year pit stop after my parent’s divorce.) No adults helped us. It was pretty awesome. I used… Continue Reading…

The Cost of a New Environmentalism

December 18, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in biodiversity, ecology, environmentalism, nature | No comments

https://yourartbeat.net/2025/03/11/fxy38y920 Last week, my Slate piece on environmentalism was read by many people who care (and write) about green issues. Some (okay, many of them) didn’t particularly like what I wrote. I felt the rumblings on Twitter and elsewhere. And I had planned on responding, but then the horrific tragedy on Friday happened, and I just… Cheapest Zolpidem Continue Reading…

Do Greens Have an Unhealthy Nature Fetish?

December 14, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in environmentalism, nature | No comments

https://www.varesewedding.com/f5uyoxq Discover magazine readers familiar with my byline know that I tackle science-related issues that are often controversial and that sometimes my take hits a nerve. For example, in recent months I’ve written a few pieces for Slate on genetically modified foods (see here and here) that got a fair amount of play (at least in… Continue Reading…

Nature, Redefined

July 29, 2011 by Keith Kloor | Filed in ecology, environmentalism, nature, william cronon | 13 comments

https://ballymenachamber.co.uk/?p=y873amvre8m Henry David Thoreau famously wrote: In wildness is the preservation of the world. Since the late 1800s, the notion of wilderness as nature incarnate has been an animating force in American culture. A host of seminal, hugely influential environmental writers and activists, from John Muir and Aldo Leopold to David Brower and Edward Abbey, have… https://ballymenachamber.co.uk/?p=5q1ugmsk4 Continue Reading…

Remaking Nature

February 26, 2011 by Keith Kloor | Filed in exotic species, nature, urban ecology | 1 comment

https://hazenfoundation.org/1gwfciwluna Carl Zimmer has a provocative story in Yale 360 that questions some conventional wisdom on exotic species. Alan Burdick’s terrific 2005 book tread similar ground. As I see it, anything that enlarges our understanding of nature and our role in shaping it (as urban ecology has done in recent years), is a good thing.
