Naturalism and Mastery, which way environmentalism

This somewhat academic article in Tikkun raises important consideration of the "naturalist" and "mastery" strands of environmentalism. Naturalism takes a humble approach and looks for harmony with nature. Mastery says industrial and social forces have taken us past the point where we can solve environmental problems... by harmonizing. The author accepts the necessity for some mastery (re global waring, for example) but suggests it needs to be informed by naturalistic impulses.
