Arne Næss was born in 1912 and he is the founder of deep ecology. Deep ecology has a bigger vision than the normal ecology. And it is called "deep" because it answers the deeper questions. It is a combination of both philosophy and ecology. Arne Næss clames that the human rase needs to adapt more to the nature and don`t use more than you need. As Gandhi once said " The world has got enough for everybody`s need, but not for everybody`s greed" true words. As we all know the planet is suffering from global warming and therefore we have to do something about it right now. That is why Arne Næss made Deep ecology. As said deep comes from the deeper questions and they set more weight on the words "how" and "why". I think that deep ecology is something everybody should know about! If we just cut all the daily newspapers and take them online, we could save the rainforest 100 000 km² trees a week.
If we pollute as much as we do today, we will use as much as three worlds together. We have to think twice if we for example need so hot water when we are showering or just as simple as turn off the lights in your room when you are leaving it. We could also not spend so much time on the computer as we do. I know that there are a of people, who does not think about saving the world because it doesn`t conserne them, and it will not affect them, but it will affect their children and their grandchildren. And that is something they might not think about! I have to be honest, I’m not sure if I’m ready to change my lifestyle that much, but at least I can try some small changes. Like use less toothpaste when brushing my teeth, or when i shower i can use less soap.
We can try not to use our cars as much as we do today, and try to walk instead. Then we get a better health and a better life. If we try as best as we can do, we can solve much of the problems.
