Ecoauthoritarianism is when the government has a lot of control and power over how people take care of the environment. They can make laws that say what people can and can't do in order to protect the environment. For example, the government might make a rule that people have to recycle plastic bottles or they might make a rule that people have to use electric cars instead of gas cars. The goal of ecoauthoritarianism is to make sure that people are taking care of the environment so that it can stay healthy and clean.
