"Ecological destruction, factory farms, destroying the oceans, sweat shops, deforestation - this all stems from our delusion that we are separate from nature. We are very disconnected from what we consume. We no longer have an appreciation for the embodied energy, embodied destruction and suffering that goes into every stage of the supply chain of the things we buy. The tool that enabled this disconnection is money. If we all had to grow our own food, we wouldn't waste 1/3 of it as we do today in the UK. If we had to make our own tables and chairs, we wouldn't chuck them out the moment we decided to change the decor. Until we reconnect with what we consume, all these problems will continue because we're not getting to the root of the problem, which is our separation from nature, and our separation from what we consume."
