Ecology certainly isn't a new word. In Greek ("oikos"), it means the home, the place where we live. ecology means the science of how all living creatures interact within our environment on this fascinating, complex Earth. Ecological world-views emphasize the importance of natural environmental systems, ecosystem unity and coherence, and people as part of nature. They focus on harmony between people and nature, and represent radical alternatives to the cosmological and mechanistic world-views. Therefore ecology is fundamentally nature-centered, arguing that nature is valuable in its own right, irrespective of whether it has utility to people. Ecologists call for new nature-centered values and a wholesale transformation of society.
Wordsworth's poetry is best suited to ecological attitudes, because the link between man and nature, and nature's ability to teach us of ourselves are a common theme in Wordsworth's writing. He recollected the past and turned for the subjects of his poems to humble people, decrying the man-centered values in industrialized society. On the base of these things required a change in the outlook on the universe and traditional view of world, one of the questions from ecology. Wordsworth learned from nature, and presented nature as a teacher, a comfort and an inspiration, as it granted him a deeper understanding of human life. And he tried to find the interconnections between nature and man as part of nature. So we can read Wordsworth's poems in view of ecological perspective.
