Northern forest struggles VI: Metsämieli (Forest mind set)
I have coined Metsämieli to describe a state of mind that believes - against all the odds - that things don’t have to be this way: the forest mind believes in the possibility of preserving biodiversity despite the onslaught of the global economy on nature. It is difficult to keep the forest mind set intact and on track when, in the big picture, consumption is only accelerating, greed is taking over the minds of fellow human beings, and the destruction machine is rampaging everywhere.
