Document Summary

Religious relationship with the environment: humans created idea for environment, manipulate nature for their own will. Ecology: questions assumptions about environment, how we frame relationship with nature. Anthropocentric: humans come first, hierarchy of being. Natural world only has value on being instrumental to human beings. How it can be utilized: need balance between resources and exploitation. Issues at stake in the environmental crisis. Humans must make changes: does not address the world view value system, seperation between human and the environment. Focus on all institutions that exploit nature. Need to focus on the root problem: religion can make problems worse by not addressing it, god will take care of the world . 8 point platform for deep ecology: egalitarism. Do not privilege man over others: diversity. Everything has value in its own context: simple living. Less attachments are better for the world: rights for human body. Nature is being exploited for profit: radical social change.

Ecology is the study of how organisms interact with their environment. Thus, a central question in ecology concerns how organisms respond to environmental variation.
