When we really want to think the ecological thought we should let go off the concept of “Nature”.

Instead we should become aware of the dark side of the way in which we are interconnected with all beings, be they animal, vegetal and mineral. Come and listen to how Morton uses Schopenhauer, Stars Wars, and even toilets to elaborate on what he calls dark ecology.
