Spiritual aspects of sustainability
For some sustainable experiences can be very personal, enlightening and aha moments that cause questions to be asked or values to be reafirmed. Rachel Carson in her book A Sense of Wonder encourages the exploration of the natural world and the appreciation of it and to experience the sense of delight and joy through active engagement and discovery.
Richard Louv in his book, Lost Child in the Woods talks of no child left inside and the need to reconnect with the natural environment to assist children's development. He raises the concern of todays' children suffering from a nature deficit disorder.
