For some reason, people like to enforce the artificial dichotomy of humans versus nature, but the October 2017 eco trends make it clear that such a distinction is fully artificial. Everything living and inanimate alike is natural to some extent, even things wrought entirely by humans. Cities form their own ecosystems, and humans clearly have a massive impact on the global environment as a whole, as is clear in the proliferation of eco trends from this month alone.
While some might make an argument for the above meaning that humans can have free reign over the environment as a whole, it's more logically consistent to think of the argument as one that encourages people to work in harmony with the surrounding life, just as life tends to work cooperatively to sustain an ecosystem. Some people have indeed found ways to maintain progress without damaging the environment. British Airways' jet fuel, for example, is produced partially from household garbage.
