On this episode of Trail Notes by Trash Free Trails, Rach Coleman introduces us to the second pathway of nature connection; compassion.
We explore some origins of humans’ negative impact on the natural world and how we’ve come to acknowledge the traces we leave. Join us in reflections on why treating nature with compassion seems to be difficult and why we don’t seem to consider ourselves as nature. Together, we get into the nitty gritty of why compassionate environmental acts are radical, in a world that teaches us we are separate.
‘Think about what you could do for nature. Extending the self to include nature, leading to a moral and ethical concern e.g. making ethical product choices, concerned with animal welfare.’
