Richard Louv Lecture

Excellent lecture by Richard Louv last night! His emphasis was in dispelling despair caused by the notion that “it’s too late” to change things for the better by advocating for the ability to see a better future where nature is integrated in everyday life in new and creative ways. He talked about the fact that most people, including environmentalists, subscribe to the idea that in order to achieve a healthy planet we need to remove humans and minimize their impact. While this is true to an extent, it is also important to re-imagine our relationship with nature, as an active and potentially positive contributor within the web of life.
