Prevailing American conservative views regarding consumption and the environment have evolved in ways incongruous to a past intellectual legacy. As the world's most voracious consumer and greatest power, the Unites States possesses a vast global footprint; this historically unprecedented combination of appetite and might translates into both potential and peril. Given that the repercussions of dominant American perspectives are not just domestic, but global, it is timely and critical to reflect on the conservative ideology today. This manuscript begins with a chapter on consumption and its relevance as a lens for studying conservative views of environmentalism. It then describes a past conservative intellectual heritage, arguing that this tradition often extolled virtues such as conservation, frugality, prudence and stewardship of the land. It then examines an array of contemporary conservatisms by laying out a typology of views: Classical, Theological, Free Market, National Security and Conservationist. With the exception of the first and last type, the spectrum shows that the prevailing disposition today is eco-skeptic in both ideology and practice. Yet there also exists considerable ideological elasticity in motive. Of much interest are green outliers described within the typology. Finally, the future direction of conservative thought with respect to consumption and the environment is assessed. Recent events, both natural and political, suggest that conservative thought is in transition with respect to the green.Subjects--Topical Terms:
