Today’s Green Thought comes from Reg Morrisons 1999 book ‘The Spirit in the Gene’ (p. 204).
Western society’s long alienation from the natural world has bred an ignorance so comprehensive that it now presents a serious handicap in dealing with our environmental problems. Few have even the haziest grasp of the natural world that underpins their lives, or the evolutionary processes that made them what they are; fewer still recognise their ecological place within the biosphere, or their ultimate dependence on it.
