Solastalgia: The painful result of man's ongoing reviling of nature.

The term solastalgia was coined 15 years ago by Glenn Albrecht, an Australian philosopher. He derived it in part from the idea of nostalgia, which means home-sickness. In the 19th and into the 20th century, he wrote, it was considered a medical condition caused by a desire to return to one’s home. But while nostalgia is related to removal — voluntarily or involuntarily — from one’s home environment, Albrecht was interested in something different: Dramatic change in the home environment where you still live.
