Environmentalism is a broad philosophy, ideology, and social movement regarding concerns for environmental protection and improvement of the health of the environment, particularly as the measure for this health seeks to incorporate the impact of changes to the environment on humans, animals, plants, and non-living matter. While environmentalism focuses more on the environmental and nature-related aspects of green ideology and politics, eco-ism combines the ideologies of social ecology and environmentalism. Ecologism is more commonly used in continental European languages, while environmentalism is more commonly used in English, but the words have slightly different connotations.
