1. In what ways do these representations of environmentalists challenge our preconceptions?
2. How does the way in which we think about the term “environment” influence the ways in which we characterize environmentalists? (environment as “out there” vs where we “live, work and play”)
3. How might we define “environment” and “environmentalism” differently to be more inclusive of the diversity we witnessed in these alternative representations? What might this mean for the way we address “environmental” problems?
