Question

What events influenced the growth of environmental movement in the United States? Why did the environmental movement attract many of the same people who had participated in other movements? Do you think the environmental movement has had a positive or negative effect on the United States?

Answer 1

The correct answer-
Events covered include the effects that DDT had on the environment and the Cuyahoga river in Ohio catching fire because it was so polluted. In 1969, the crew of a Japanese fishing vessel near Bikini Atoll were exposed to massive doses of radiation from the fallout of an H-Bomb test. The concern over the environment went on way before that, though.
