Fern Wickson, Why We Need to Forget the Environment.

 This is an interesting antithesis to the right to a healthy environment. Wickson argues that the environment should not be seen as an ‘’other” thing to protect, that indeed the idea of a “healthy environment” is unclear because the environment has changed constantly even before human intervention. She argues that the real question should be whether we are happy with our ‘ecological selves’ – i.e. the way we are interacting with the other living organisms around us.
