Ecology is Dead
Ecology Is Dead and We Have Killed It Ourselves is an essay written in response to the urgent circumstances of today, where countless conflicts, inequalities, and crises are proliferating across the planet. It is a text that calls not only for activism, but for a deep transformation in our attitudes and perceptions, starting from the roots. A text that gets us thinking and nudges us to act on ourselves.
