Especially when living in a city, it is easy to feel isolated and disconnected from nature. It leads us to forget, neglect and even destroy the environment we ultimately rely on. Yet we are never isolated from nature - not only do we live wholly and totally within it, but we ourselves are part of it. We are subject to the same systems, processes and cycles - such as those of decomposition and growth, and cycles of water and carbon, as are animals, plants, soils, rivers and rocks. Wherever we are, however built-up an area is, there is always sky above us, small plants growing in between walls and tiny animals going about their daily lives. |
