However, as Dario noted, quoting Calvino, “each city is shaped by the desert next to it.” With this in mind, we must better understand the natural world around us in order to understand the human environments that we have created. However it is not only a question of understanding and interpreting. As Marx famously wrote, “The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it.” And yet, when it comes to the natural world, we must become aware of the way we change it. As Bookchin writes, -The file rouge moves from abstract thinking to the real role of the nature in shaping our landmarks and society. as Calvino wrote and Dario highlighted “each city is shaped by the desert next to it.” and as Gramsci reinforces the contraposition, better say the differences and the abyss between cities and countryside that hardly will come today one day. +“Human beings alone are able to intervene to change the course of the natural world through technology and innovation.

And as the Tunisian shepherd states in the film of Habib Ayeb, it is not enough simply to love the Earth, but to love it unconditionally.
