Seperation
From: The Memory We Could Be
$1.30
No matter where we may be, we are inseparable from nature. We live in nature, we live with nature, we rely on nature, and we are part of nature. Yet our language hides this. When we use words like “nature,” “environment” or “climate,” we often paint a deceptive portrait of independence. To speak of environmentalism misleads us, suggesting that the natural world is somehow distinct from the human world, and needs to be protected.
