Why is nationalism environmentalist?
While for many people nationalism and ecology may seem as two different problems having little or nothing in common, there are obvious reasons why they must be considered as manifestations of a common worldview; in their approach, both ideologies render the local community as the starting point, working from the bottom up in attempting to achieve their goals. This offers both greater structural stability than can be witnessed today and a soundness (logically speaking) that is otherwise nonexistent, with regard to the extension of values beyond oneself.
