Quotes:
“We fail to realize that the natural world is not a collection of objects to be exploited, but a community of subjects to be communed with. To enter into this communion experience means that we have to change, that we have to undergo a transformation of consciousness in order to move out of our deep cultural pathology that has allowed this degradation to take place. So with the Tsolum River. If only we had listened to the earth. We thought we knew best what was good for the river and for ourselves. But it is
not too late. “
“The river will never again be what it was intended to be. But with our new insights, and by working together as a community and by our willingness to change, we can allow the river once again to flow clean and sweet to the estuary and again become home to those creatures whose home it rightfully is.”
