One main point that Latour makes is about the connection that humans have with the environment. It is important for us to realize our impact and not create a barrier between us and the rest of the world. Also, as we are realizing our impact on the world, we must be proactive to make change. We can't wait for positive change to occur unless we act and make a difference on our own. Otherwise, the Earth is doomed. Another important point that Latour makes is about how society and nature are seen as two completely separate entities and this misconception needs to change. Society is part of nature and it makes no sense to try to separate them. Humans are a part of nature and humans make up society, therefore there is not a clear distinction between society and nature. This makes me wonder: Why do people feel the need to create such a clear barrier between themselves and nature?
