1) Ancient cultures and civilizations typically had females as creators, we do not. Our religious figures are predominately male concerning creation. Why and how has this affected our relationship with Nature?

2) Why is the Earth frequently referred to in the feminine?

3) How does society's overall view of women affect our treatment of the earth?

4) Crittendon suggests two methods for implementing ecofeminist capitalism. Do you think ecofeminism can be a part of and survive among corporate and capitalist ideas? Support your decision.

5) Why has women's work as well as their contributions to society been considered part of an unvalued economy? Is this changing?

6) How do we begin to implement ecofeminist beliefs into our corporate practices? What can current companies do to raise ecofeminism awareness among employees?
