“The task of education for the immediate future is to assist in activating an ethic of planetary sensitivity that will assist us in practicing disciplines that protect us from the allurements of our morbid commodity culture… We have to completely revise our western understanding of what it is to be an inhabitant of the planet Earth… We must pass from a human-centred to an earth-centred sense of reality and value.”
