Social workers are called upon to shift from a human-centric bias
to an ecological ethical sensibility by embracing love as integral
to their justice mission and by extending the idea of social
justice to include environmental and species justice. This book
presents the love ethic model as a way to do eco-justice work using
public campaigns, research, community arts practice and other
nonviolent, direct action strategies. The model is premised on an
active and ongoing commitment to the eco-values of love,
eco-justice and nonviolence for the purpose of upholding the public
interest. The love ethic model is informed by the stories of
eco-activists who used nonviolent actions to address ecological
issues such as: pollution; degradation of the environment;
exploitation of farm animals; mining industry overriding First
Nation Peoples' land rights; and human health and social costs
related to the natural resource industries, private land
developments and government infrastructure projects. Informed by
practice insights by activists from a range of eco-justice
concerns, this innovative book provides new directions in social
work and environmental studies involving transformational change
leadership and dialogical group work between interest groups. It
should be considered essential reading for social work students,
researchers and practitioners as well as eco-activists more
generally.
