ABSTRACT

This chapter describes a series of inspiring projects that aim at social and ecological change and discusses their success and difficulties. In Jungian terms this is favouring one function over the three others rooted in the body: feeling, sensation and intuition. So in 2008 the Natural Change Project was set up by Dave Key and Scottish psychotherapist Margaret Kerr. Professor of Landscape Architecture Clare Cooper Marcus has spent decades trying to persuade architects to include gardens and green views in the design of hospitals. Scottish activist and human ecologist Alastair McIntosh campaigned against this proposal for the biggest road-stone quarry in the world. Capitalism relies on seeing the rest of nature as a collection of objects to be used. Nature is both idealised and denigrated, along with those peoples who have become associated with nature.
