Let's start at the beginning.
Look at our connections to nature.
We need to breathe in oxygen every minute of everyday. Even when we sleep! Oxygen is in our air and air is a part of nature.
We need to eat nutritiously for health and well being. Some of our food grows in soil and soil is part of nature.
We need to take in water. We can't go for more than 3 days without water. Water is a part of nature.
We need a climate that is not too hot or too cold. The sun, air and oceans determine our climate and they too, are a part of nature.
