Environmentalism has long historic roots:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_history_of_environ...

After the industrial revolution there was quite a pick up in valuing the natural world.

The Nazis were into environmentalism. Claiming that the German people had a bond with the natural world that was broken by pollution.

They used the German word pollution in a non-scientific way.

Romanticism in general has had an interesting relationship with Nature, which accounts for a lot of the 19th century ( and some of the 20th century ) points on the first list.

It should be fairly easy to see that with the aid of mass media, its much more prevalent than it was.
