  • Kingsnorth declares he wants nothing of this “soulless” form of environmentalism.  “I can’t make my peace with people who cannibalize the land in the name of saving it. I can’t speak the language of science without a corresponding poetry. I can’t speak with a straight face about saving the planet when what I really mean is saving myself from what is coming.”
  • Kingsnorth also has a more positive suggestion for us: to recast the environmental movement as “ecocentric” as opposed to its current androcentric fixation.
  • “The “environment”—that distancing word, that empty concept—does not exist,” Kingsnorth declares. “It is the air, the waters, the creatures we make homeless or lifeless in flocks and legions, and it is us too. We are it; we are in it and of it, we make it and live it, we are fruit and soil and tree, and the things done to the roots and the leaves come back to us.”
