Deep Ecology

a movement that i'm currently interested in through having read a few bits and pieces on and/or by them is the Deep Ecology movement. Tomorrow i'm heading to the bookstore because a book by one of their thinkers has (finally) arrived... interesting;

some links:
http://www.deepecology.org/index.htm (one specific foundation though, and not the whole movement they represent... yet they can get you a picture)

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8meah_arne-naess_creation a long video on Arne Neass (who was the first to use the term Deep Ecology) and the movement

perhaps the only drawback i see as of yet is that the language they use is full of symbols and feelings/emotions; nothing wrong with that per se, but rationality often works better that cozy words when it comes to politics....
well... perhaps that's not so true as i just thought it is, i'll think it over and hope any reader will feed me back on this one :)

may all be green!
peace
