Arguably, some of the typical targets of eco-saboteurs are companies that use pesticides, new construction sites, SUV owners, biotechnology labs, and fast food restaurants (Gale, 2006). The eco-saboteurs are members of the group called Earth Liberation Front (ELF), an eco-terrorist group that, in its ideology, is a protector of the environment. They may also have been influenced by the publication of several books, including The Anarchist Cookbook (1971), by William Powell; Ecotage! (1972), edited by Sam Love and David Obst; and The Monkey Wrench Gang (1976), by Edward Abbey, a novel about four "greenwashers" who travel the southwestern United States blowing up bridges and vandalizing bulldozers in the name of environmental protection (Gale, 2006).

To go further, this requires redefinition due to the term “terrorism”. Terrorism is an act of terror without any remorse for human security. Not all eco-protesters create collateral damage. These are violent acts on facilities that negatively affect the environment. There have been many non-violent civil disobediences that have had a positive impact on American history. For example, the civil rights movement, led by Martin Luther King, Jr. and others. This included sit-ins and illegal marches that weakened segregation in the South. Another example is the women's suffrage movement which lasted from 1848 to 1920, when thousands of brave women marched in the streets, endured hunger strikes, and submitted to arrest and prison to obtain order. to obtain the right to vote. Also the anti-war movement which included actions including refusal to pay for war, refusal to enlist in the army, occupation of conscription centers, sit-ins, blockades, military camps peace and the refusal to allow military recruiters to attend high schools and universities. campus (Starr, 1998).
