  we are the environment.
  
  we are the effect of the entire 'cause and effect' cumulating at each present moment. How can an entire 'cause and effect' be compact in a super small moment of NOW? Perhaps, it is because each moment of NOW is already the 'effect' as time is an illusion.
  
  guessing...
