1. William Cronon's essay "The Trouble with Wilderness" was first published in 1995. It caused immediate negative reactions in the environmental community which continue until this day, yet some would argue that Cronon's essay in fact, defines what environmentalism should be. Using the link below, please read this essay and write a one page synopsis on what you think the main points are. Argue also whether or not this document is pro or anti- environmentalist.

   Note also: when you google on this, you can find lots of criticisms of Cronon's essay - you are certainly allowed to use that as source material but don't cut and paste.
