The urge to live in harmony with Nature has never been stronger,
yet humanity's onslaught on the Planet reaches new levels every
decade. In Green Spirituality we visit India's wisest souls in
search of the root causes of man's destructiveness toward Nature.
We tell the stories of how our spiritual traditions have sought to
provide the wisdom to guide us. For practical answers our
pilgrimage moves from India to the pioneering eco-village
communities of which many members have their own spiritual
practices.For Chris Philpott, green educator activist with 28 years
in Agenda 21, Transition Towns, Campaign against Climate Change,
Green Spirituality and Inter-faith, this book is a lifework. It has
taken him 13 years to research and write. He felt honoured with the
Foreword from Dr Vandana Shiva, the international speaker, author
and environmental activist.Find inside: --succinct accounts of the
hazards facing our Planet; --how our distorted values play out in
world impoverishment; --how pollution migrates to poor countries;
--profound wisdom and abundant inspiration in the stories behind
the main world spiritual traditions. Easily understood presentation
enables the reader to make positive and informed choices helped by
practical hints and websites. Includes wise words from over 100
spiritual leaders the author interviewed throughout India in 2002.
Explores the dreams that inspire eco-village communities, living
examples striving towards sustainability. "Sustainability is as
much a spiritual imperative as it is a political and economic
challenge. Chris Philpott admirably highlights this dimension in
his book Green Spirituality." Satish Kumar, founder of Resurgence
Magazine, author of Earth Pilgrim, 2009. "Chris Philpott's book
will provide a unique insight into the spiritual changes we will
have to make if society is to survive the global warming threat. I
highly recommend him." Mark Lynas, author of the acclaimed Six
Degrees, 2008.
