Abstract
This chapter discusses the Chicano/a environmentalism, examining specifically their visual arts and their imagining of a distinctive environmentalism. These visuals have been effective tools for fighting against racism within the environmental movement, and also for inviting audiences to imagine economies that are healthier for all living things. They show the effects of runaway consumerism on ecosystems across the globe. More importantly, these tools represent the union of social and ecological justice, which contradicts the agenda of another environmental group, the Sierra Club that aims to draw sharp a distinction between the needs of human and nonhuman nature as well as endorse the popular “zero population growth” movement and its anti-immigrant agenda.
