Used book – Owner or Artist?: Manifesto for an Ecology of Being, Gilles Berhault

Rio, 1992. The end of an era, or rather the beginning of another: a global approach for human communities and their territories emerged. This was sustainable development, which brought together environmental protection and "development". But make no mistake: it was above all a humanistic approach, even if it has lost its humanity. It is the environmental/cultural tension that gives meaning and values; it is this that we must urgently re-enchant! We must agree on a humanity that discovers the capacity to invent and then fully participate in a new world. We are no longer at the stage of awareness or utopian dreams: the creation of the 21st century is now!
