Why do I talk about ecological identities instead of just one ecological identity? 🌍
Our relationship with the environment is shaped by so many factors—our culture, social and economic backgrounds, gender, ethnicity, age, and even abilities. These influences create unique, intersectional experiences with nature for every individual.
Take Central Europe, for example. Many people imagine forests when they think of nature—that’s cultural coding at work. But beyond that, every one of us interacts with the environment differently because of our personal circumstances and life experiences.
This diversity creates a multiplicity of ecological identities—each one unique, shaped by our backgrounds and perceptions. Respecting these differences is key, even when we don’t fully understand the behaviors of others.
Now, let’s reflect:
🌱 How do different economic classes approach sustainability?
🌱 How does generational experience shape our environmental actions?
🌱 What happens when people gain power or wealth—does their relationship with nature shift?
We need to redefine success in society—making sustainability, not consumption, the ultimate symbol of power.
If this resonates with you, join me in the Ecologization of Self course, where I explore how societal power structures contribute to climate change and how we can foster change from within.
