| American environmental protection is not only the outcome of American social progress,but also the historical outcome of constant development with the changes of American society.The rapid development of American society in modem times takes sacrificing the environment as a cost.It has brought many negative influences to the sustainable development of life and economy of American people.The mere attention on the natural environment of the early environmental protection and nlovement of USA has gradually changed into the attention Oil the interrelation between natural environment and hulnan activities and the emphasis on the interdependence between social environment and natural enviromnent The CO-operations between the government and the citizens have promoted sustainable development of American environmental protection and nrovement and effectively stopped the behaviors of destroying natural environment and abusing natural resources.The environmental protection has achieved substantive results,which has laid material and ideological foundation for the sustainable development of American society.This thesis takes Ecological Outlook of Marxism as a method and elaborates American ecological environnlent protection process into three phases.The first period is the environmental protection before the Second World War;the second period is in 1960s and 1970s;the third period is around the tum of 21st century.Based on this,it can be concluded that the essence of American environmental protection is a resistance of developing trend based on the capitalist profit.American environmental protection is not only the environmental protection organization movement and the history of the game,is also the capitalist at the cosumpte the environment a miniature of the pursuit of interests.This miniature doesn't reflect the contradiction between the capitalist short-term investment behavior and the long-term maintenance of tile ecological protection Capitalist economics pursuit of growing was the principol econonlic objective of society The capitalist economy to the pursuit of profit growth as the primary purpose,SO want to pursue economic growth at any cost,including exploitation and sacrifice the world most people'S interests.This rapid growth usually causes the rapid consumption of energy and materials,while dumping more waste to the environment, leading to rapid deterioration of the environment.Walking along the direction of capitalization will eventually lead to ecological and social disaster. Only to reform the social relations of production and to establish a new society which is not dominated by the pursuit of profit, which meets people'S real needs and social and ecological sustainable development,can truly solve ecological and environmental problems. Meanwhile,researching the American history of ecological and environmental protection,finding out the important thinking and advanced measures,for example,on environmental protection,the government should play a leading role.Environmental policies need to balance community interests and needs of multiple subjects. Environmental policy needs public participation.As a system, environmental policies need to innovate persistently,to increase investment in environmental protection while strengthening environmental legal system.Learn through these areas,it is significant for China to take ecological and environmental protection,and it also supplies theory nourishment to build ecological civilization for our community. |
