...is the sum of all being in the ecosphere including humans.
The word mostly gets used as a definition of everything outside of the human, which is a misconception and
suggests a division between human beings and the ecosphere. It romanticizes the environment as a neutral background. In this context, the notion of “Nature” is a barrier to the human understanding of the environment that stops us from finding our place in the ecosystem because it suggests that we are existing outside of it and takes away the feeling of belonging and responsibility.

1. Environmentalism is not about protecting “nature” but rather about collective survival.
2. P:” I love “nature”!
E:” Do you mean you love all beings in the ecosphere or do you want to say you love the wilderness?”
3. P: “Nature” is so beautiful!”
E: “Thank you! You too!”

If nature was really mother nature, everyone that died in a storm or natural disaster would be male. Calling nature mother nature implies that nature is partial to one sex, which is like implying that nature is partial to one race or sexual orientation. Nature isn't partial to anybody or anything.
Nature is not male or female, it encompasses both sexes. Their are male plants/animals, there are female plants/animals. You also have worms, and animals like worms that are both. Humans are not like worms, they never were.

Nature is not mother nature any more than it is father nature. These are names people gave nature, not names nature gave itself. Really nature is both male life forms and female life forms.
