ABSTRACT

This chapter now starts seeking solutions to some of the problems described in this book. So far, the book has outlined the problems of environmental science, and the difficulties of explaining environmental degradation without also reflecting social and political framings. But is it possible to explain environmental problems in ways that do not reflect politics? How can scientific practices be reformed to overcome the problems of environmental “myths” (or environmental orthodoxies) that have been shown to be inaccurate and unhelpful in so many contexts?
