The Way

The message from environmentalists and many scientists is now clear - our modern, technological way of life is destroying our planet and threatening the very existence of mankind's future. This message is being put across to us daily in our magazines and newspapers and yet still too little is done. Edward Goldsmith, a leading international campainger on environmental issues for over 30 years, firmly believes that only a clearly formulated ecological worldview is likely to give rise to a comprehensive strategy for assuring the preservation of the Earth and hence the survival of the human species. In "The Way" he puts forward the 67 principles which he regards as fundamental to such a worldview stressing above all the need for people to realise that they are an integral part of nature and so cannot continue to exploit her without damaging or destroying themselves.
