'share the view of a short environmentalist' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'a short environmentalist' is the wordplay.
'short' means to remove the last letter.
'environmentalist' becomes 'green' (member of the Green Party).
'green' with its final letter removed is 'gree'.
'a'+'gree'='AGREE'

Can you help me to learn more?
