Nature Does Not Steal Time, It Amplifies

What Would Our Lives Be Like If Our Days And Nights Were As Immersed In Nature As They Are In Technology?

Increasingly The Evidence Suggests That People Benefit So Much From Contact With Nature That Land Conservation Can Now Be Viewed As A Public Health Strategy.

Some Kids Don't Want To Be Organized All The Time. They Want To Let Their Imaginations Run; They Want To See Where A Stream Of Water Takes Them.

As The Nature Deficit Grows, Another Emerging Body Of Scientific Evidence Indicates That Direct Exposure To Nature Is Essential For Physical And Emotional Health. For Example, New Studies Suggest That Exposure To Nature May Reduce The Symptoms Of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (adhd), And That It Can Improve All Children's Cognitive Abilities And Resistance To Negative Stresses And Depression.

It's Easy To Blame The Nature-deficit Disorder On The Kids' Or The Parents' Back, But They Also Need The Help Of Urban Planners, Schools, Libraries And Other Community Agents To Find Nature That's Accessible.
