National Environmental Policy Act as a Reflexive Setting

Thomas W. Cuddy

Chapter 7 in Reflexive Practice, 2010, pp 125-144 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In these days of heightened environmental awareness one could ask, “Was there ever such a thing as environmental stability?” On a beautiful day in May, I put the final touches on a five-page guidance statement for how to deal with greenhouse gases and climate change in the aviation sector, emailed it off for review, and left for a Memorial Day weekend at the beach. Solve climate change, head off on vacation, all in a day’s work. If only it were that simple. People must interact with their environment, and for most of humanity’s existence on earth a stable environment was an underlying premise. We are only just realizing how wrong we were about the environmental side of it, and in the process finding out how our own cultural complexities further change the balance.
