How do you specify "nature?" If we specify it as that which is unblemished by humans, we won't have any left, states ecological writer Emma Marris. She prompts us to consider a brand-new meaning of nature– one that consists of not only pristine wilderness but also the untended spots of plants growing in city spaces– and encourages us to bring our children out to touch and tinker with it, so that one day they may like and safeguard it.
