Reviewed by John Scull<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is a small review of this deceptively small book (132 pages), which is much bigger on the inside.\u00a0 David Tracey (author of Guerilla Gardening<\/em>) introduces the idea of \u201cEngaged Ecology\u201d, or E2<\/sup>, which has six laws:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Nature is Here<\/li>\n
  2. Wilderness is Within<\/li>\n
  3. Cities are Alive<\/li>\n
  4. The Earth is Our Witness<\/li>\n
  5. We Have the Right to Clean Air, Pure Water, Healthy Soil<\/li>\n
  6. Engaged Ecology Creates a Community<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The first three chapters cover the first three \u201claws\u201d, which come down to connecting to your place and with yourself.\u00a0 Then the next three chapters cover what to do with this connection \u2013 join a small group where you are and do what you can to cool the earth and support biodiversity.\u00a0 Engaged Ecology is what Ecopsychology should be about\u00a0 — local, personal, and reflective, but also global, communitarian, and active.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
