Why Do We All See Nature Differently? Discover Ecological Identities

Why do I talk about ecological identitiesĀ instead of just one ecological identity? š
Our relationship with the environment is shaped by so many factorsāour culture, social and economic backgrounds, gender, ethnicity, age, and even abilities. These influences create unique, intersectional experiences with nature for every individual.
Take Central Europe, for example. Many people imagine forests when they think of natureāthatās cultural coding at work. But beyond that, every one of us interacts with the environment differently because of our personal circumstances and life experiences.
This diversity creates a multiplicity of ecological identitiesāeach one unique, shaped by our backgrounds and perceptions. Respecting these differences is key, even when we donāt fully understand the behaviors of others.
Now, letās reflect:
š± How do different economic classes approach sustainability?
š± How does generational experience shape our environmental actions?
š± What happens when people gain power or wealthādoes their relationship with nature shift?
We need to redefine success in societyāmaking sustainability, not consumption, the ultimate symbol of power.
If this resonates with you, join me in the Ecologization of SelfĀ course, where I explore how societal power structures contribute to climate change and how we can foster change from within.
š Course starts 14th February. Half-price offer ends in January!
Letās work together toward a future where sustainability leads the way. š
