The meme here is a reminder that to call oneself a “conservative” used to mean something, other than the desire to conserve America’s racist and imperialistic heritage.

There have been conservatives all throughout U.S. history.

For some reason, our nation’s leaders at the turn of the 20th Century are probably the most notable, with TR and John Muir (national parks pioneer).

But skip ahead and you have those who have shaped environmental protection through science, advocacy, and media. Key figures include Jane Goodall (primatologist), David Attenborough (naturalist), Rachel Carson (author of Silent Spring), Steve Irwin (wildlife educator), climate advocate Bill McKibben, activist Naomi Klein, and Story of Stuff founder Annie Leonard.
