ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the sustainable spirituality as a nonsectarian spiritual vision concerning the deep interrelationships of all life-forms on the planet and the concomitant ethical ideal of preserving the integrity of the relationships through one's social and political praxis. The antitoxics movement, therefore, is primarily concerned with environmental justice for disenfranchised persons who suffered from historic class and racial discrimination and now deprived of the right to live and work in safe and healthy environments. The goal of neopreservationism is to renew and reconnect endangered bioregions in order to promote ecological richness and diversity. Radical conservationism is a practical application of the philosophy of Deep Ecology. Dave Foreman strikes a misanthropic note in order to underscore the dissimilarities between wilderness protection and fighting against the social causes that force some human communities into toxic environments.
