Transition from Environmentalism to Spirituality

The guest discusses his evolution from a radical environmentalist to an Orthodox Christian, highlighting a common theme of recognizing the limitations of modernity. Initially motivated by a passion for nature, he notes that his early activism sought to challenge and reverse the damage caused by industrialization and fossil fuel consumption.
