"Living in tune with nature" means pattern literacy: learning to read a landscape and fit into its patterns, rather than simply dominating it and changing it to suit human needs, whether nature survives or not.

The UN released a report recently, saying that, to save the climate regime that we're losing in a (geological) hurry, we must all become vegans. Here's the link:

There's a lot of good in that article but it does suffer from vague cliches like "living in
