If we see ourselves as part of nature, but with a unique ability to impact more of nature than most other forces within nature, I think we would have a greater imperative to rectify mistakes we have made, vs seeing issues like climate change as mostly impact “others.”

- KGIII 9y agoIt's a philosophical work about leavers and takers and what is the nature of both nature and humans, as well as their role in it.
