Spirituality and Ecological Hope  www.ecologicalhope.org

Exploring the spiritual meaning of the ecological crisis that now faces our precious Earth

From the vantage point of a consumer-oriented post-industrial society, the changes required to save humanity from disaster are particularly profound. In the short span of this generation, we human beings will have to decide how we are going to pass through this difficult era, whether or not we will survive, what kind of world we will be leaving to our children. To save the fabric of life on this Earth, to keep it from unraveling, we need to begin this work now.
