Not only are professionals in the humanities and social sciences concerned with the issue of environmental debt, they are also the most qualified in analyzing its origins. While politicians and economists focus mainly on future solutions, the human sciences perspective aims to identify the root causes of environmental debt, arguing that unless we understand them and work at the source of the problem, it cannot be sustainably resolved.
Certainly, our attitude towards the environmental crisis depends on raising consciousness of theses origins, to better respond to psychological resistance and denial defensive mechanins, and avoid moralizing and/or repressive narratives.
- Analyzing the neurotic modern culture, it’s biases and the history of transgenerational debt transmission.
- Responding to the increasing loss of a direct, living and healthy relationship with our environment (body, community, nature, universe). We arise from and are part of the world, our environment is our roots, but what’s left from that mutual exchange ?
- Prioritizing natural and non-chemical practices.
Working on the origins of symptoms, rather than focussing on the appearing symptom, for more durable therapy, developing the non-polluting practices and avoiding nourishing transgenerational debt. “When a man is hungry, it is better to teach him to fish than to give him a fish.” Confucius
