Death of Environmentalism

I think the problem with systems is that they often don't leave room for adaptation. Actually, we always kind of deal with this issue: the tradition vs. the youth. The healthiest forms of... i don't know what to even call it... but the healthiest things... leave room for new ideas. Like how the constitution is a living breathing document... I don't know how great an example that was but what I am trying to say is that its not sooo bad that environmentalism might be dead.

The article spoke about how we always try to make the environment into something separate from humans, and it is completely part of us. We are part of the environment the environment is part of us. People slowly are beginning to realize this. And since it an important step to improving the environment, if traditional environmentalism can't get on board with that, it won't continue being beneficial, it will actually probably be more harmful. In fact, at times the article talked about things where it seemed like the environmentalist party was trying to harm themselves.

Environmentalism isn't even necessarily a great word for the cause because it makes its seem like the environment is a separate issue. So maybe its time for a new name that is more suiting to the problem. An idiot proof name that doesn't allow people to think its a separate thing.

Communication is a huge issue. Words have a lot of baggage tied to them, and the baggage isn't necessarily the definition. We need to learn to communicate what we truly mean, which is hard to do sometimes.
