Lindsey Pritchett - Arcadia

In Ecology of Eden, Eisenberg presents the idea of Arcadia, a middle ground, as the solution to the dissonance between nature and civilisation. According to Eisenberg, Arcadia is a place where nature and civilisation can coexist and actually work together. The idea is that both can thrive without being harmful to the other. Generally, the middle ground would encourage the growth of wilderness by including tsimtsum in their lives. The way they would accomplish this is by setting aside 1/7th of their land and planting native plants. Then they would simply allow the plants to grow freely and wildly. This would encourage wildlife to grow. It would also be of no inconvenience to the people that live on that plot of land. In fact, both sides would thrive from the experience.
