Deliberations on the Anthropocene alert us to rethink our contemporary way of life, which includes both our relationship with others and with nature. In this text we report an experience with higher education students as the beginning to imagine what other forms of relationship with the world are possible through the construction of ecobiographies. The students did not have information on the Anthropocene topic in their educational career. We use narrative strategies to answer the question: what world do we want to leave for future generations? We present information about the appearance of the species homo sapiens and the way in which it conquered the world as a different way from the classic question What is man? whose answers separate men from nature. We established links between the world experienced with predecessors, the world of contemporaries and the possible world of successors. Preserving nature involves surprising us with its beauty, a condition for establishing new resonances in the world, as an encompassing totality, and establishing social bonds of diverse order. It is worth moving from I think, therefore I am to I am biomass, extension of the principle we are star stuff as support to renew diverse ways of relating, of inhabiting the world, understood as a house, abode.
