Biophilia

Biophilia is a noun that refers to the desire or tendency to commune with nature.  Our word of the day combines the Greek prefix B-I-O, meaning ‘life’ with the Greek suffix P-H-I-L-I-A meaning ‘a love for.’ More specifically, having biophilia means having a love of nature.  There are some who when in the midst of nature are swept away by the biophilia of the moment, in awe of the majesty of nature all around us. And there are some like Kenny, who only love nature when it gives him something tasty to put on his barbecue pit.
