Is the goal of environmentalism to maximize the health of the environment, or to maximize the health of the environment experienced by the average person?

(I think both are valid goals, but they can lead to very different conclusions)

A question I have wondered about. Do you sense that students growing up have the freedom to ask these kind of questions at school or university without some form of academic peer pressure? (Maybe It is just my experience from the places I've lived) I see a need for healthy curiosity increase on how humans are effected.
