David Walls - Sonoma State University - Environmental Movement Professor Emeritus of Sociology Courses, Workshops & Presentations Social Movement Overviews and Bibliographies Environmentalism is the most popular social movement in the United States today. Five million American households contribute to national environmental organizations, which together receive over $350 million in contributions from all sources. On the local level some 6,000 environmental groups are active. Seventy-five percent of Americans in 1989 identified themselves as environmentalists -- all the more remarkable given that twenty-five years before there were no "environmentalists" and ecology was an obscure branch of biological science. In 1965 there were no more than a half-dozen national conservation organizations with citizen members and some degree of influence, and most were on a shaky financial footing. Although conservationists were beginning to win important victories preserving wilderness and protecting air and water from pollution, no one anticipated the explosion of activism that was about to take place.
