NATURE

is the sum of all being in the ecosphere including humans.
The word mostly gets used as a defintion of everything outside of the human, which is a misconception and

suggests a division between human beings and the ecosphere. It romaticises the environement as a neutral background. In this context the notion of “Nature” is a barrier in the human understanding that stops us from finding our place in the ecosystem because it suggests that we are existing outside of it and takes away the feeling of belonging and responsibility.

1. Environmentalism is not about protecting “nature” but rather about collective survival.

2. P:” I love “nature”!

E:” Do you mean you love all beings in the ecosphere or do you want to say you love the wilderness?”

3. P: “Nature” is so beautiful!”
E: “Thank you! You too!”
