What effect did environmentalism have on europe in the 1500's?

I am sure the term "environmentalism" does not go back that far.  As to people who were concerned about their environment, I expect most farmers were, and certainly people who were responsible for forests.  It did not become an academic discipline to be taken seriously until the time of Rachael Carson.  "Conservation" was a term used earlier, and the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, among others, took that seriously.

Disease was very common in the middle ages.  More common than today because of lower hygiene standards are poor nutrition.  Between 1347 and 1350 1 out of every 3 people in the continent of Europe died of the bubonic plague.

Aalexart put the case extremely well, and has obviously like me read several books that have no bias.\nThe site below will help you, the presumptiousness of man that we can influence the weather. King Canute had more success with the tide.\nYes we are gradually returning to the climate pre the mini ice age, but we still have a long way to go.

First of all, the Black Plaque took place over several centuries, recurring essentially every generation between the 14th and 17th centuries. During this time, the world was incredibly fractitious and separated. There was little communication between Asia and Europe and there was intense rivalry between the countries of Western Europe. There was no one dominant figure of the period, except perhaps the Pope in Europe.

There were centers of learning and scholarship.  They often helped to bring heavily forested land and wetlands into agricultural production.  They were more like a mirror of society-at-large than the cells of the desert hermits.\n\nIs this a homework question?

There is definately a correlation between the increase in the population of the world and the destruction of the environment.  But remember that correlation is not causation.  Just because two things increase at a similiar rate, does not mean that one causes the other.  The causes of the destruction of the environment, stems from our inability to responsibly advance our society.  It comes from our poor practices as a global society and as local communities.  It comes from our inability to think about how to do things efficiently and effectively while taking into account the environment and our long term comfort and survival.  It also comes from our rapidly increasing technology, combined with our not so rapidly ability to deal with the waste and biproducts that come along with technology.  Simple example: car and smog.  I hope this can start your thought process in the right direction.

Exactly. A far bigger emphasis should be put on environment protection than it is getting now. Everybody and every country is only looking at their own interests while the amazing rainforests are being cut and the waters full of oil.. \nI'm from east Europe, air pollution is a big problem here too, still only few people think and talk about these. I hope they won't realise the importance of this when it will be already irreversible.

This was the period when the Industrial Revolution was beginning. The working class were, up to this point, mostly rural farm workers. They would have worked hard in the summer, harder at harvest and less hard in the dark winter months. \nThe Industrial Revolution effected a large scale movement of people to the towns, where they worked in factories, often for very long hours and very little pay. The environemnt they lived in was often polluted and unhealthy (coal dust in coal mining / cotton dust in textile industry)\nThe exploitation of the factory workers was a subject discussed at length by Karl Marx.

Some of us still do live by the natural rhythms of nature.Myself included.\nI think we started to turn away from this during the Industrial Revolution.Also the invention of the clock and the lightbulb contributed to it.

I would choose to live in the 1500's. \nI would have liked to live in a castle or out in the wilderness. Dependant only on myself and my sword to provide what I needed. Honor, Respect, and Humanity were your code and how you were judged. Actions spoke louder than words and dollars back then.\nIt was a less complex way to live than it is now.
