Question

protest against nature​

Answer 1

Answer:

Environmental protests are demonstrations seeking to bring recognition of how people, companies, or governments impact a natural environment. Protests are staged to bring attention to environmental issues and to prompt action to prevent or address environmental problems. Most environmental protests are planned and peaceful, however a small minority of protests employ controversial tactics with the potential to harm people or property.

Historical Background and Scientific Foundations

The environmental protests that are well-known to most people are typically epic in scale (the Live Earth Concerts with millions of participants and viewers across the globe), spectacular in execution (Sea Shepherd’s anti-whaling campaign off the coast of Antarctica), or have significant outcomes (Baltic states initiating their break with the former Soviet Union with protests against water pollution). However, most protests are small and focus on local environmental issues. Localized concerns bred the first environmental protests—notable examples include Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790) successfully petitioning the Pennsylvania Assembly against industrial pollution in Philadelphia, and those against London’s “Great Stink” of 1858—at a time before environmentalism was a modern philosophy or social and political movement.
