Were the Nazis radical environmentalists?

[Tom Condit]

I'd like to thank Louis Proyect for his precis of early Soviet environmental
efforts. As a footnote to Furedi, et al., and their strange arguments, it
should be noted that nature and forest reserves date back at least 2,000
years, because the problem of environmental degradation has been clear for
that long. I remember nearly 30 years ago reading an essay by Plato on the
deforestation of Attica and the resulting soil erosion.
