We can conserve energy and tread more lightly on the Earth while we expand our culture's capacity for joy.
By letting our children lead us to their own special places we can rediscover the joy and wonder of nature.
There is another possibility: not the end of nature, but the rebirth of wonder and even joy.
If getting our kids out into nature is a search for perfection, or is one more chore, then the belief in perfection and the chore defeats the joy. It's a good thing to learn more about nature in order to share this knowledge with children; it's even better if the adult and child learn about nature together. And it's a lot more fun.
As a species, we are most animated when our days and nights on Earth are touched by the natural world. We can find immeasurable joy in the birth of a child, a great work of art, or falling in love.
