Green is the colour of forests; Green is nature. Green is the colour of paper bills; Green is synthetic. The colour ‘Green’ is the most natural and the most artificial of all. Green is natural, and, at the same time, it is constructed.

I read and write for a living. I write stories of ideas, rationalities, institutions, and human-nonhuman relations. Most of my work involves researching and sharing visions about how the humanities can contribute to a solution for our current planetary crisis.

Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead.
Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.
– Albert Camus –
