Everett Cafe: Ecology, Psychology, Sustainability

What is the psychological impact of widespread environmental changes? How do ecological changes especially impact marginalized communities, wherever they live on the planet? What does the current state of the environment tell us about past and future ecology? Why is sustainable action now more critical than ever? For whom would you write your story about the significance of nature in your life?

Ecology, Psychology, Sustainability: Cultivating Human-Nature Relationships brings together important literature on ecopsychology, an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary field which dates back to the 1960s with the teachings of Robert Greenway, who believed that “mind is nature” and “nature is mind.” Among the visionaries, ecologists, leaders, and educators whose works are featured are: Theodore Roszak, Al Gore, Linda Buzzell, Peter H. Khan, Jr., Glenn Albrecht, Thomas Doherty, and Susan Bodnar. They not only address our fears of climate change and environmental destruction, but center our understanding of our relationship with the natural world – a relationship that is key to nurturing planetary health and human wellness in hope of sustainability.
