Ecopedagogía y buen vivir: los caminos de la sustentabilidad

Abstract

The discovery of Earth as a living evolving system has aroused in humanity new sensibilities and perceptions; on one hand, the acknowledgment of Earth as our “patria-matria” (fatherland-motherland) of origin, has not only reminded us of our membership in the community of life, but it has also helped us to get rid of the anthropocentric ego that moved us away from her. On the other hand, humanity shows, as a result, concern for keeping her safe, and, of course, for the guarantee of our survival as a species. This document intends to shed some light on sustainability paths, and the development of practices that benefit the sustaining of living beings. We consider that is necessary to start exploring new ways to inhabit our Earth, exercising responsibility within a planetary citizenship; it is on these grounds that we present our proposal for living well.
