Only when #nature becomes #sacred to us will we be able to change our civilization, which is based on consumption and greed.

The natural world is built on #harmony. It is held together by #cooperation, mutual #respect, and love.

Practical #spirituality and spiritual #ecology are the most effective strategies for ending the destruction of nature—even if they are not easy. But there will be no easy rescue for #civilization.

#LakeRouge in #Canada suddenly vanished. "The #Quebec government concluded Lake Rouge’s disappearance was natural and has not studied it." -

Scientists want to study now if it was natural by #geology or human-made by the combination of #wildfires and #clearcuts https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/10/quebecs-lake-rouge-vanished-but-was-it-a-freak-natural-event-or-caused-by-human-actions

Quebec’s Lake Rouge vanished – but was it a freak natural event or caused by human actions?

Experts and community trying to untangle mystery of outburst that saw water travel almost 10km overland into a bigger lake

A perfect lawn isn't worth killing a bunch of insects and driving away animals like moles.

Six years into a study on the effect of #plant #pathogens in grasslands, University of Kansas researchers have the data to show that species diversity — a hallmark of native #prairies — works as a protective shield

Study shows that species-diverse systems like prairies have built-in protection

The results support regenerative agricultural approaches that strengthen the soil biome long-term

We can’t just burn carbon now and suck it out of the atmosphere later

Tree-planting programs, seaweed plantations, and fantastical engineering projects won’t save us

The world’s grasslands contain more carbon than humans have released since the Industrial Revolution, more than the planet’s forests and atmosphere. At the current rate of plowing up Western grasslands, we’re plowing up about a million acres a year, and that’s the equivalent of adding 11.2 million cars to the road every year

How policies to prevent the collapse of the grasslands can also support farmers.

Traditional #ecology carries the risk that we will not change our relationship with #nature and our #lifestyle.
It advocates limiting destruction, but does not question the understanding of the #earth and life as a resource. It deals with the symptoms of the problem, not its causes. It will not bring us harmonious coexistence with intact nature.

We can only create lasting balance with all life on the #planet if we see ourselves as part of nature.
