I think with hindsight that econology is located between pure and hard ecology (not necessarily understandable or accessible by the general public especially now) and the consumerist economic system (adopted by the greatest number: I therefore consume I am) ... in short, we come back to the basic definition: mix between ecology and economy.
I have always tried to find a compromise between these opposing lifestyle values ...
All the more so since anti-consumerist extremism is also progressing with, for example currents like the dechetarians of whom we have spoken.
Yes, the strength of forum has always been its tolerance and the refusal to ostracize those who leave the econological framework in their words or their acts. This has often resulted in beautiful and long tussles and a few rare banishings of trolls, but nothing too bad.
I think of the rare courteous exchanges that I had with an anorexic who came on this forum tell us about his powder diet. This mode of nutrition saved his life.
This kind of testimony, when one makes the effort to listen to it without judging, opens the mind.
This allows me to come to the forum brought us to the human level during all these years.
He accompanied me towards more wisdom, tolerance and helps me to bear the weight of the years with more philosophy.
The years have not spared us, neither one nor the other, work, family, health, we take blows and what forum has remained a haven of human warmth where we refresh ourselves.
