American Environmental Movement

The American Environmental Movement is a social and political effort to protect natural resources, pollution prevention, and conservation of ecosystems. It gained momentum in the 20th century, advocating for laws like the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, to address environmental issues caused by industrialization and urbanization. The movement involves activists, scientists, policymakers, and communities working together to promote sustainable practices, raise awareness of environmental challenges, and ensure a healthier planet for future generations. Its goals include safeguarding air and water quality, preserving wildlife, and reducing the human impact on the environment.
