ABSTRACT
Richard Evanoff, a professor of environmental ethics at Aoyama Gakuin University in Tokyo, conducts an intellectually stimulating interview with Berg, covering topics that include deep ecology, personal lifestyle, international trade, self-sufficiency, political decision making, and globalization. In this interview, published in Japan Environment Monitor (June 1998), Evanoff prompts Berg to answer some common criticisms of eco-localism, including charges of insularity, exclusiveness, and parochialism. Berg’s pointed answers may have the effect of “[setting] off a large-scale explosion in the brain,” precisely his intention.
