Our understanding of science and technology led us to our environmental issues, while art helps us get a grasp on these implications. Human have progressively changed substantive parts of the earth resulting in ontological assaults where beauty has become in danger. Environmentalists are slowly watching the environmental issues become point-source to non-point source problems. The issues move from problem to mystery (ex. natural scientists). The environmental movement then must decide which position: shallow ecologies, deep ecologies, or middle way are best suited for this situation. Problem is something that is in front of us, placed or thrown in our path to solve. Ontological assault assaults that attack the fabric of being, the fabric of life itself, like someone slashing at a canvas. Ozone depletion punching a hole in the ozone layer. Shallow ecologies which are essentially problem solving strategies.
