Hang in there, Tony! I get down about it all too. I think there are some influential people slowly changing people’s idea of nature. One such is Ian McGilchrist, whose most recent book is “The Matter with Things.” He is a philosopher and psychiatrist who studies the left-right brain hemispheres and wrote about that in his last book “The Master and His Emissary,” where he argues our culture is left-brain dominated, thus we don’t see reality (the natural world outside our heads, including our own bodies) accurately as it actually is. He has a website with various videos of interviews, etc, and lots of videos on YouTube. He is offering lots of great content! I think you would like him a lot.

Thanks, I'll check out his work!
I have watched a bunch of his talks and interviews. Here is one link but there are many others: https://youtu.be/-ysEVaNlAno
He starts talking about our interconnectedness with nature at about the 5 min mark.
