First sentence: Though sometimes sounding like contemporary Jeremiahs, proclaiming to a wayward humankind the spiritually devastating and potentially suicidal consequences of practices that are destabilizing the ecosphere and threatening millions of species (possibly including humankind) with extinction, deep ecologists offer a positive message: humankind can become more integrated and mature, thus outgrowing the fearful posture that leads to such aggressive treatment of nature.
