There is a variety of evidence linking care of the environment with
hierarchy or lack of it. The environmental movement has yet to catch onto
this. However, the following pdf and the reference 1 therein is a good
place to begin. Stephen

The reference is
Boyce, J. K., A. R. Klemer, et al. (1999). Power distribution, the
environment, and public health: A state-level analysis. Ecological
Economics 29(1): 127-140.
This paper examines relationships among power distribution, the
environment, and public health by means of a cross-sectional analysis of
the 50 US states. A measure of inter-state variations in power
distribution is derived from data on voter participation, tax fairness,
Medicaid access, and educational attainment. We develop and estimate a
recursive model linking the distribution of power to environmental policy,
environmental stress, and public health. The results support the
hypothesis that greater power inequality leads to weaker environmental
policies, which in turn lead to greater environmental degradation and to
adverse public health outcomes.
