Explanation:
Since the 1950s, research suggests, we have become more and more distanced from nature and its life-giving benefits.
It’s hard to overstate how much good nature does for our well-being: Study after study documents the psychological and physical benefits of connecting with nature. People who are more connected with nature are happier, feel more vital, and have more meaning in their lives.
Even in small doses, nature is a potent elixir: When their hospital room had flowers and foliage, post-surgery patients needed less painkillers and reported less fatigue. And merely looking at pictures of nature does speed up mental restoration and improves cognitive functioning.
These studies, along with hundreds of others, all point to the same conclusion: We stand to benefit tremendously from nurturing a strong connection with nature. Yet our connection to nature seems more tenuous than ever today—a time when our children can name more Pokémon characters than wildlife species.
Answer:
First of all, there is no nature and us. We are part of nature, we belong inside the web of life. But we have forgotten it. And now nature is often no more than the park we walk in on a Sunday afternoon. Leisurely, relaxing, but also annoying when we are bitten by a mosquito or hear a fly in the living room.
Let’s give some background on this ‘why’ question. Undeniably, we have some problems in this world. From climate change to loss of fertile topsoil, from biodiversity loss to plastics pollution in our oceans, from air pollution in our cities to shortages of drinkable water. And I am convinced that our disconnection from nature is an important cause of these problems.
World of Separation
When in the 1600s René Descartes described humans as machines, the western world started to direct their sciences towards the studying of specialist parts, disconnected from all other fields. And we created a world of separation.
Our economics, for example, are driven by maximization of profit, instead of respecting all values, not only money. Our businesses include only production costs in their prices. All other costs, such as waste, pollution, health problems of people, and many more are costs for our societies.
Responsibility is no longer connected to our actions. And the consequences are felt more and more clearly.
Systemic thinking
The solution is a change of world view. From separation to connection. We cannot just maximize a part, we need to optimize the whole. This is called holistic thinking, systems thinking, systemic design. E.g. Fritjof Capra wrote about it in his book ‘a Systems View of Life’.
The world is not made up of separate parts, all these parts are connected. If you touch a piece of fruit, it is connected to the rest of the world. It connects to the tree, which connects to the soil with its roots, to the air with its leaves, to the sun to make its photosynthesis work, etc. We breathe the oxygen that is produced by the trees, who in return eat CO2 to produce cellulose for their stems.
