John Seed travels the world in service to the earth. As a founding father of the Deep Ecology movement, he’s noticed that “we speak of ‘the environment,’ which makes it sound as though this is something that’s far away from us. But if we hold our breath for a few minutes while we consider the matter, we quickly realize that ‘the environment’ is constantly cycling through us through the air we breathe, through the water we drink, through the food we eat.”

Perhaps the most powerful and significant aspect of Deep Ecology is the way it cultivates humility and reverence for the great mystery of life. Listen as Winona Laduke, Ed Mcgaa/Eagle Man and others explore the right relationship between humans and the rest of nature.

This program is a powerful sampling of information and issues from Edward Abbey, Paul Shepard, and several other environmentalists and scientists, all talking about why and how we can shift our priorities to care for all life on the planet.
