Living sustainably involves recognising ecology and the feedback processes between ecological systems and our participation in these systems. Ecological thinking – from the Greek ecos for home – refers to what it is that sustains our shared home.
The business and political world has taken the term ecos and applied it to human activities such as “economics” and “industrial ecology”. We sometimes forget that human ecosystems are dependent for their existence on natural ecosystems. Natural ecosystems have aspirations and expectations of their own. Living sustainably involves recognising and respecting a wide range of human and non-human priorities.
We recognises and respect the changeability of all of the above. The process by which we recognise the need to change is itself open to change. To achieve sustainability we must nurture and protect the interrelationship of human needs and desires with those of the natural world.
Our Working with Nature Guide aims to be a leading resource for learning about Bio-Holistic™ options for living with and working with biological systems.
