当全球数以百万计的人行动起来、要求采取紧急行动应对气候危机之时，正是我们重置自身社会与自然关系的时候了。尽管我们与生存环境中的其他生命有着深刻的联系，但现代（西方）的思维方式与行动方式——包括政策制定——却把人类与自然界的其余部分视为两个彼此分离、互不相干的领域。然而全球变暖与大规模物种灭绝迫使我们作出根本性的改变。
As millions mobilize across the globe to demand urgent action to respond to the climate crisis, it is time to reset our societal relationship with nature. Despite our deep connection with the rest of our living environment, modern (Western) thinking and actions, including policy-making, treat humans and the rest of nature as two separate and independent spheres. But global warming and mass extinction force us to make a drastic change.
