Rachel Carson, 1962

Humans above nature; nature as resource for human use

Value in its own right, separate from usefulness to humans

Present must not compromise future generations' needs

Zero growth economy; production for needs not wants

Sustainable development: slower, greener economic growth

Organising by natural regions with own cycles, not states

Links nature's exploitation with women's oppression
