This is the year to move beyond tunnel vision and embrace a more holistic framework for addressing the intertwined crises of our time. by Amalia Helen, Nature Tech Collective
Thanks for this, and I leave this comment with the greatest respect for your work...but as an educator, I worry that the more we say "nature," the more ingrained separation becomes for those who hear it, especially young kids. We are nature. It's not something separate. If we don't see ourselves as deeply entangled with all living things on the planet, we'll never fully repair the broken relationships that have brought us to the brink. Some might say it's semantics, but the words matter. (In the schools I work with, one of the first things we do is make sure we have a coherent shared definition around "learning" and "success.") Anyway, just an observation that I would love to hear what others think about. With gratitude
Did you know that many companies like LandLife will only further destroy nature, as satellites create massive wireless radiation that harms the electrical core of life itself, the ionosphere, birds and bees?
I don't believe nature feels protected by the light pollution and energy consumption required to understand its demise even better. Fitting in may "simply" require that we do that.
Hi Amalia, could you contact us? We're building all electric (zero emissions), wakeless, shallow draft water shuttles for clean inland and coastal use and would love to chat. Check us out at www.WadaHoppah.com
Great info. Of course, it all starts by protecting what natural ecosystems we have left, including carbon-rich treeless ecosystems https://predirections.substack.com/p/dont-forget-non-forest-carbon-rich

And yes we are part of nature but overwhelming.
