In this essay, White talks about the historical roots in which our ecological crisis arose from. According to White, Christianity which originally came from Judaism is part of our ecological crisis. The story of how God created light and darkness, and how it centers around man(Adam) and his accomplishments. White names Christianity as the "most anthropocentric religion the world has seen" and how modern western science is a derivative of Christianity.
