We do not only live in the environment ... the environment also lives in us.
If the 'environment' is defined as that which surrounds us, then we do not live within it.
'Symbionment': [Greek sumbiosis, companionship, from sumbioun, to live together, from sumbios, living together : sun-, syn- + bios, life; http://www.thefreedictionary.com/symbiosis] [Ment - a process or condition.]
Therefore, we are all in the symbionment, not the environment.
Symbionment: that condition where we all live together and where companionship between ourselves and other beings is the norm and the basis of the normative.
Our language has evolved on the assumption that we are not in the environment but separate from it. Its time to redirect our language to reflect the reality of our total immersion in nature and natural processes.
