No, I would characterize most self-described environmentalists
as anti-environmental. Specifically the idea that centralized
regulation makes the environment better, despite all the
evidence to the contrary. I think most transhumanists are
very concerned about sustainable growth and expansion, while
many "enviromentalists" want stagnation and regression.
