Deforestation

Reality is the convergence of all its parts in a single unit. According to this philosophy, a dualist vision which separates earth from sky, subject from object, or man and nature, does not exist. Implicit in the attitude which derives from mutual dependence is respect for persons and nature. Instead, western thought has developed the idea of objectifying the world attempting to dominate it through the use of technology.

This thought process has inevitably led to a degree of nihilism evident in the world today, in which there is an uncontrolled development of technology and a critical conscience which attempts to fit thoughts according to the challenges present at any particular moment in time. The aimless state of nihilism which exists today, characterised by an environmental emergency, a waste of the planet’s resources, the ever-growing imbalance between people and nations, has accelerated this thought process. As time passes we realise the growing difficulties our planet is experiencing and that everything within it is dependent on everything else.
