By taking a reflective approach to her relationship with the environment, Mira Gibson intersects William Cronon’s article ‘The Trouble of Wilderness’ (1996) with Steven Vogel’s paper ‘Marx and Alienation from Nature’ (1988) to explore her relationship with the environment. Through this reflection, she investigates what she means by ‘environment’ and the implications of this on her ethical life. Then, she situates the possibility for environmental change within the social networks of labour.
