No-one can deny that there is a groundswell movement of concern for the environment. For too long our industrial-age mindset has exploited and subjugated the natural world and it is now becoming apparent that this cannot continue without severe consequences for the human race.
To survive as a species it is now well recognized that the human family must rise to the challenge of changing its attitude and thinking. Our adapted outlook will need to embrace the diversity of Life and realize that we are but players in its great drama. We will need to retrieve that profound sense of belonging to the whole, rather than our present perception of differentiation and conquest over Mother Nature.
