If one wishes to educate students to have a commitment to their social and ecological environment, one needs to start with an
emphasis on commitment rather than on locality or community. Despite the commonly used metaphor, human beings do not grow actual roots on which they depend for their physical, intellectual, or ethical nourishment. Instead, nomads who have learned the ethical gestures of hospitality and openness to a community-to-come will bring nourishment to any place in which they land. — Ruitenberg (2005)
