Environmental Spirituality

I would like to look at the role of spirituality in environmentalism. Spirituality has always played a huge role in how people connect with the environment, explain its phenomena, etc.. Today, it is difficult for many westerners to accept spirituality as truth because of certain Judea Christian social norms and the esteem that science holds in understanding the world. I would like to explore this explanation of the environment that spirituality offers, especially that in indigenous cultures. I will look at certain folklore and environmental art.
