Nature is not something that can be avoided. We are an intrinsic part of nature, both materially and spiritually. The problem is that the lives that we live are directly in conflict with nature. Maybe we should define what we mean by nature - the earth, the sky, the weather etc. If we live in harmony we are happier, healthier and more effective. Another problem is that we are caught in systems that trap us, and there is not much we can do to escape. So we shouldn’t be puritanical; we have to work within the constraints we find ourselves in.
