There is a widespread, and largely unquestioned, belief concerning what it means to be 'green'. In this book the author shows that what it means to be 'green' is actually a very complex issue with numerous factors needing to be considered. He outlines a narrow conception of sustainability which applies solely to human resource use/impacts, and a broad conception of sustainability which applies to the sustainability of the biosphere. He makes the case that the broad conception of sustainability - the sustainability of the biosphere - is really what 'being green' is about. Being 'green' isn't about 'minimising human impacts'; it is about fulfilling the interests of all life on Earth. What this means is that, from a broad evolutionary perspective, high levels of human resource use can be seen as 'green' activities. It is claimed that when it comes to an individual human 'being green' is fundamentally about having a particular attitude, rather than being simply about using few resources. The nature of this attitude is explored through an exploration of 'green spirituality' and the case is made for a new paradigm of 'green-tech spirituality'.
