摘要：

This paper examines the evidence concerning the frequent accusation that technology, capitalism, and Christianity-three bases of modern Western society-are root causes of environmental degradation. A critical assessment indicates that, although these aspects of the present-day world are associated with failures to protect the environment, labeling them as causal factors contradicts known facts. A major theme of the paper is the combined application of scientific and folk wisdom in addressing environmental issues. An attempt is made to synthesize different positions, and the implications for environmental psychology are discussed. (C) 1995 Academic Press Limited
