Rather than seeing ourselves as part of the Earth and intrinsically connected to her seasons, cycles and rhythms, our “I am separate” mindset causes us to behave toward the natural world as if we are not connected to it - as if it is something to own, use and dominate - resulting in unlimited resource extraction, pollution of our environment, degradation of our food and water, climate change, the extinction of species, and more. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with those and similar observations, there is one thing conspicuously missing from the way we think about climate change: It is a spiritual issue. NovemAs a culture, we tend to think of climate change in terms of its effects on sea levels, seasonal temperatures, and animal habitats.
