It's is not about getting back to nature. It is about understanding we’ve never left.

We are deep in our nature every day. We were born here and we’re part of it—like any ant, fish, rock, or blade of grass. This connection is as personal as it is fundamental. It can’t be proved with theorems and diagrams. You either feel it or you don’t.

Maybe it came to you on a mountain trail or enjoying a sunset on the beach. Simply put, it’s the sudden conviction that there is something out there, something wonderful. And it is much, much bigger than you. A revelation like this could easily overwhelm a person. We choose to let it inspire us.

Nature, vastly complex and infinitely subtle, is our perfect metaphor. Related to everything, signifying everything, it is the spring where we go to renew our spirit. And it, in turn, asks something of us. It compels us to take responsibility and then to take action.

There is nothing inevitable about the future of our environment. A poisoned stream can get worse, stay the same, or get better. It depends largely on what we choose to do.

When you accept your connection to nature, you can’t look at the world without seeing something very personal in it. You are part of it, and you work for the planet because it gives you joy to do so. You work for the planet because you belong to it.
