Recent Anti-environmentalism occurs with chemical manufacturers, oil producers, mining producers, timber companies, real estate developers, nuclear power industries, electric utilities, as well as politics.

Many anti-environmental activists protray environmentalism as a “the ambitions of communist central planners to control the entire society”.
