The Green Gap: Exploring the Divide Between Ecological Thinking and Acting

The majority of the Americas exposed to all kinds of media knows the ecological damage brought to the earth by our society, but we have hardly concluded mediation. It seems counterintuitive to know this gap between behavior and action. In common sense, if you find something is wrong, you should take measures to stop it. Prevention is more important as the Earth is a dynamic system, while feeling the impact on the Earth side. In this article I think about why we believe the fundamental rationality of ecosystem damage we are doing but we have not taken action to solve it but this is the "green gap" .

Fritjof Capra says: "The main challenge of the century is to fundamentally redesign our technology and social system to bridge the gap between human design and the ecologically sustainable natural system and our ecological knowledge And apply system thinking ", p. 40). Nature, ecology, and irony design are trying to learn from nature how to more effectively integrate them into natural processes of nature (see Chapter 3). Design is neither science nor art, but in its complex role it can be used as a kind of information. Mr. Victor Margolin believes that "design fulfills a strategic role in dealing with ethics and changes in society." "Design is the production of programs, projects, products, and it produces concrete results useful as a model of our way of living.

When talking about 'ecological city' and 'ecological thinking', I do not just talk about green in the gray landscape. Building ecology is not meant to borrow green ink from a "natural" paint bucket and place it in a place that is not "natural". On the contrary, what I am talking about is a larger project, a transformation of our way of thinking and behavioral ways, one not only to develop our building environment, but also our intellectual development It is to pursue. Timothy Morton called it ecological thought. For Morton, ecological thinking is mainly based on connections. Everything is connected. Forget your natural concepts of the past, we are natural, it is not something "out there". We are concerned with what you thought was external and what is called nature; all are interrelated and interdependent.
