Thinking like a Mall

Environmental writer and philosopher Steven Vogel will discuss his argument that environmentalism should abandon the idea of "nature." Arguing that focus on the idea of "nature" has become counter-productive, Vogel believes environmentalists should recognize that our environment is always a built environment. Instead of asking "How can we save nature?", Vogel will suggest environmentalists should ask "what environment should we inhabit, and what practices should we engage in to help build it?"
