ABSTRACT
The afterword offers an ethnographically grounded reflection related to the main premise of the book, which is to trace the grounded transformations of social and ecological relationships, brought on by the effects of the global market economy. Following people and birds in the changing landscapes of the “green” energy shift in Europe, nurturing alternative futures would mean to refrain from hurried decisions regarding the building out of energy infrastructures and to develop a coordinated holistic approach, responsive to landscapes as lived-in places of already strained ecological communities.
