How does enviromentalism relate to peace?

Question

I was wondering how enviromentalism relates to peace because of the sudden surge of products labeled as "green" thagt are marketed as benefiting the overall state of mankind. But how does making environmentally sound decisions really benefit world peace and unity?

Answer 1

Could this have anything to do with the slaughter of the whales by the Japanese (and Norwegians?) in the Southern Oceans and people getting so mad that they could just about declare war on these countries????

No I think that war monger types are more interested in what resources certain countries might have that they want and just figure out excuses that are viable to invade this countries.  Like take China for instance.  That is a fast developing country and there will be pollution issues no doubt and if major powers in the world start to worry about China getting too powerful then maybe they'll find ways to undermine China's "commitment" to a healthy environment and get everyone mad at China and find reasons to "bring them down".  Sorry just thinking out loud.
