Abstract
There has been an observable disconnection between humans and natural environment in select Western cultures over the past 100 years. Reintegration of humanity and nature can be achieved through shifting to a sustainability-focused model of education and the teaching of reflection about natural experiences to children to equip them for sustainable living. Biophilic designs can continue to encourage this shift because the effects are immediately good for both physical and mental health. Green ergonomics can also encourage this reintegration by reducing the friction between the user and the technology in ways that encourage sustainable practices with ease. By combining these ideas, there may be a path forward with nature back in our everyday lives, which could improve the chances of sustainability practices becoming more prevalent
