Analysis of the the Historical Roots of Our Ecological Crisis

Description

Historical Roots of Our Ecological Crisis was written in 1967, on the cusp of the first wave environmental movement, and acted as a turning point in how Americans and specifically Christians think about their relationship to and with the environment. As the author expressed his conviction, “What people do about their ecology depends on what they think about themselves in relation to things around them. Human ecology is deeply conditioned by beliefs about our nature and destiny — that is, by religion.” After reading the article linked below, Historical Roots of Our Ecological Crisis by Lynn White, Jr. and listening to the Religion and the Environment video lecture, analyze the main points of the article and determine if they are still valid and how you would change them given the changing world we live in today.  Submit your 1-2 page response.
