Josie Appleton's essay on the RSA website is very controversial, likely to upset deep ecologists, dark greens, and assorted anti-science/anti-technological types. But I found it an inspiring counterpoint to the eco-doommongers and life stylists of the mainstream green movement, offering a rudimentary philosophical basis for an environmentally aware but ruthlessly human centred politics. It has flaws of course; its vague, almost new age, liberal idealism ('Human Species Consciousness') and an absence of any mention of the radical left. Read the essay here and make your own mind up.
