Today is Earth Day, which has been an occasion to call for conservationism and environmental protection since it was first celebrated in America with bipartisan support in 1970, in response to the Santa Barbara oil spill of 1969. Although in recent decades, environmentalism has come to be identified with the political Left, taking stewardship of the Earth and seeking harmony in the relationship between man and nature has traditionally been an issue of the Right. Progressives, on the other hand, especially as manifested in Communism, have historically been proponents of mass industrialization, believing that it is as possible to transform the planet into a technological utopia as they consider it possible to alter human nature itself, and exhibited complete disregard for the destructive impact their projects had on the natural world.
Today, of course, despite some differences in their surface rhetoric, the mainstream Left and Right are united in viewing the Earth as nothing more than a resource to be exploited for economic growth, differing only in the details. But the True Right has always recognized that man must be understood within the context of the natural order as a whole, and that it is only by understanding and respecting our place within it that societies and individuals can truly grow and prosper without sacrificing their children’s futures.

Dear John,
Great little article and a timely reminder of the true ‘home’ of environmentalism !

The True Right is conservative: we wish to conserve the racial and natural ecology – the blo0d and soil – of our people. For all True Rightists, man is part of nature, and as such, the proper metaphors by which we seek to understand human society are organic, not the mechanistic ones employed by every form of liberalism.
That said, modern mainstream environmentalism is a thoroughly leftist enterprise. It seeks to communize the economy and enserf formerly free men via the environmental policy backdoor. Care to distinguish a true environmentalist from an eco-socialist or eco-globalist? Just ask his positions on immigration and Third World natality. If he favors restricting both, chances are he’s a true friend of the planet and future generations. If he waffles, he likely has an ulterior agenda.
