Many young people are jumping into the permaculture movement, which seems like environmentalism with an agricultural twist. That’s increasing very fast. I guess permaculture might be more oriented to bringing nature home and local, than going out to find it.

Oh, it isn’t that there won’t be *any* whose nexus with the movement is that romantic motivation–it’s just that this is definitely going to be less of an automatically assumable position. It’s good news, really: what we most need to make cleaner, more efficient, more livable and vibrant are the places where we live. That’s not to the exclusion of protecting far-off empty places, but it speaks to an understanding of “the environment” that is Here, rather than Over There.

As I hope I’ve said in other settings, a clearly articulated paradigm shift, who’s time, hopefully has come. I do have one reservation: the fact that the current, younger (than me) generation hears not the call of the wild, does not, necessarily, mean that following generations will fail to do so. I think there is something to be said for the “seven generations” mind set, in which we are stewards of the wild places- just in case a future generation returns to its Romantic roots.
