Yeah, it all started in the 50's... . .
There's Thoreau moving to Walden Pond in 1845, and Ernst Haeckel coining "ecology" in 1866, and John Muir hanging out in Yosemite in 1869, and the formation of the Audubon Society in 1886, and the Sierra Club in 1901......
The late 50's is when they started dumping toxins at Love Canal.
Don't forget that socialist paragon, R.M. Nixon, who created the EPA...
And Teddy Rosevelt....
