“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

New Being Ecological!!!


Coming very soon from MIT Press. 


What if a philosopher showed you how working on ecological issues was EASIER than you thought? What if thinking about ecology made you feel HAPPY and INSPIRED? 


The world is bursting into flame. The way we think about that shouldn't burn us alive. 

The world is flooding. Ecological thought shouldn't inundate us with  overwhelm.

Being ecological is like being a good parent or being a good teacher. The more you try, the harder it gets. Stop trying and start trusting. 

Being ecological is inclusive, not exclusive. 

Being ecological doesn't mean you have to change your religious beliefs. 

Being ecological is much easier than you've heard about. 

Having a sense of humor and having a sense of doom are not incompatible are all. 

We need to face our catastrophic conditions with a cheerful mind and courageous heart.
