Chapter 6 outlines and analyses the key contributions of working-class people to environmentalism through a discussion of the ‘environmentalism of the poor’ (Martinez-Alier,Environmentalism of the Poor. Edward Elgar, 2003), the environmental justice movement and trade union health and safety campaigns. It challenges a prevailing view of environmentalism as a ‘post-materialist’ struggle (e.g. Inglehart,Culture Shift in Advanced Industrial Society. Princeton University Press, 1990) which suggests that poorer people are too preoccupied with meeting their basic needs for food, warmth and security to be able to think about, or be active on, environmental issues. The contribution of the environmental justice movement will also be explored in this chapter, drawing on my previous work on this topic (e.g. Bell, Achieving Environmental Justice. Policy Press, 2014).
