The climate we change

December 29, 2009

We are destroy­ing our wilder­nesses in more than one way. On one hand, defor­esta­tion is clear­ing the ground for devel­op­ment projects, whereas on the other, mod­ern tech­nol­ogy is uproot­ing the very con­cept of wilder­ness from our mind. Both, devel­op­ment projects and tech­no­log­i­cal progress are grad­ual processes that have been hap­pen­ing for over thou­sands of years. But, […]

JoGW Day 6: Sensitise your subconscious

October 2, 2009

Unlike Mowgli, we live in cities – urban epi­cen­ters of a mate­ri­al­is­tic world. When we return from a trip to the jun­gles it takes us a day or two to get used to our rou­tine; to fit into the rut. Once we have done that, the excit­ing and refresh­ing expe­ri­ences from our time spent with […]
