What if the Earth isn’t something we own, but something we owe? 🌏
Robin Wall Kimmerer, renowned botanist and member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, explores how the dominant view of the Earth as property has led to ecological harm. Instead, she invites us to see the natural world as a gift, something to care for and not control. This mindset shift, grounded in both Indigenous science and environmental ethics, fosters a sense of moral responsibility toward all living systems.
