title: Earth caring.
abstract: This article explores the interrelationships of environment, nursing, and caring and challenges the readers, particularly in light of the ecology crisis, to examine the apparent anthropocentric emphasis of current human care and caring theory. The intent is to engage all nurses in thoughtful study and reflection and in fruitful, friendly dialogue.
