What does feminism have to do with the environment? Survival of our species may depend on greater understanding between men and women. Eco-feminists seek a more balanced relationship between humankind and the Earth. Is it time for some further change or do we look temporarily in amazement then return to what we were doing without much thought?
Eco-feminism looks at attitudes and worldviews that differ based on male and female perceptions of life. Whether gender difference is biological or social is in hot debate. But it seems our most effective influence will be in the social sphere. Our ability to homogenize those perspectives may result in better environmental policies.

Yes, I do. I tend to lean towards it and have since I first learned about it.
The same guy that "throws rocks" at feminists is the same guy that changes the oil in his car and dumps it in the backyard.

I saw the link and read what is there. Equality is valuable only when it encourages rather than destroys differences is a beautiful thought.
Survival depend on understanding men and women. Eco-feminists seek a relationship between humankind and the Earth. It is time for some further change. These are my thoughts on the subject
By the way, I also wish somebody could post us links to the following as well. May be these are all related concepts.
(1) Eco-Supremacy Organization,
(2) Eco-Hinduism,

Eco-feminism is the next thing that the palaeosexists will be screaming about as being an affront to Their manhood. I take it for granted that there will be some 'humorous' remarks made about Men and Women working towards a common goal. The next time the Ark sets sail it will no doubt have a predominantly Female crew on board.

Damn and I thought eco-feminism was only about recycling tampons.
