Everything is connected

It's All Related

○ "Everything is connected. The greatest tragedy of human existence is the illusion of separateness.” -- Albert Einstein

○ "A human being is part of the whole, called by us “universe,” limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a prison, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons close to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from our prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all humanity and the whole of nature in its beauty." -- Albert Einstein

GreenPolicy360 Siterunner: "We are surrounded by nature. We are of nature, in nature. We are not above nature. We are connected with nature and the natural world is our world. We have a responsibility to listen to, learn from, understand and care for our world. Nature enables life. 'It' is all connected, it is all related. We live in a relational reality."

"Our era is now being called 'the Anthropocene'. Our impact on nature is real, extensive, ongoing, generational. We have responsibilities to life, protecting and preserving life. Welcome 'planet citizens', this is your time. It is time to act. 'Your life is your message'."

Methodological naturalism

Methodological naturalism, this second sense of the term "naturalism", seeks to provide a framework of acquiring knowledge that requires scientists to seek explanations of how the world around us functions based on what we can observe, test, replicate and verify. It is a distinct system of thought concerned with a cognitive approach to reality, and is thus a philosophy of knowledge. It is a self-imposed convention of science that attempts to explain and test scientific endeavors, hypotheses, and events with reference to natural causes and events.

More Green Quotes @GreenPolicy360

Remember, in our deepest soul, is our nature, ourselves, our inherited humanity. Unmediated, without any modern device in our hands, or in front of our face delivering content and data. Nature is not mediated. Nature is best delivered as is, nature unspoiled, to be taken in, to reveal the natural world and change our world naturally, to show us, educate us, help us become more of our true and better selves. -- GreenPolicy360

"Our loyalties are to the species and the planet. We speak for Earth. Our obligation to survive is owed not just to ourselves but also to that Cosmos, ancient and vast, from which we spring." -- Carl Sagan, Cosmos

Environmental protection

Nature was always present... It was participant, impetus, and catalyst. It was the riches that made nations wealthy and powerful, and over which their armies fought; it was the wildness our ancestors insisted on taming, the scourge that left them despairing, and the blessing that kept them alive. How and where and by what design people built their homes and businesses depended on natural conditions and endowments. Inspirations for what people wrote and painted, what they wore, and said to each other, how they planned their day and spent their leisure time, and what they chose as a livelihood all flowed from an organic setting. Nature shaped strategies in war and gave form to economics, and its wealth or privation determined that of people and their enterprises.
