Jensen is a critic of the mainstream environmental movement's focus on preserving civilization and technology over preserving the natural world.[6 ] He specifically challenges the lifestyle changes and individualistic solutions broadly advocated, considering them drastically inadequate to the global scale of environmental catastrophe .[7 ] Instead, he promotes civil disobedience , radical activism, and dismantling infrastructure on a massive level in order to halt what he has called "the murder of the planet".[6 ]
Jensen is a founder and leader within Deep Green Resistance .
His and the organization's belief that women-only spaces should exclude trans women has led to accusations of transphobia.[8 ] [6 ]
Jensen lives in Crescent City, California .[1 ]
