Our anthropocentric view of the world has led to the rampant exploitation of the natural world and irreversible destruction. Moving towards an ecocentric perspective allows us to see the environment as our habitat, what we depend on for survival, rather than as a mere resource. Nature is not a separate entity: we are part of her; we depend on her 100% as our home and source of nourishment. This relationship is truly a matter of life or death; we can no longer take is for granted. Disrespecting nature hurts us, too.
