"Tree hugger" is a slang term for a person strongly committed to environmental protection or conservation. It originated in the 1970s, inspired by the literal practice of activists hugging trees to prevent them from being cut down, especially in the Chipko movement in India. The term is used in informal, descriptive, or sometimes teasing contexts and can be affectionate, neutral, or mildly critical depending on tone. It is generally not offensive.
