Ecopsychology explores the deep interconnection between human psychology and the natural world, arguing that humanity's alienation from nature has led to psychological distress. Theodore Roszak, in his work, posits that the environmental crisis reflects our collective psyche's state. He emphasizes that our internal struggles are intertwined with the health of the ecosystems we rely on. Addressing our disconnection from nature, ecopsychology suggests that practices like green burials may help in healing this rift and fostering a healthier relationship with both life and death.
"The Earth's cry for rescue from the punishing weight of the industrial system we have created is our own cry for a scale and quality of life that will free each of us to become the complete person that we were meant to be."
"The environmental crisis is not just an external event; it is a reflection of the state of our own distressed collective psyche."
