Nature Connection...

The "5-ways to Well-being" from the New Economics Foundation are:

Connect,   Be Active,   Take notice,   Keep Learning   and   Give.

These could not better describe many of the aims and objectives of a new campaign and political movement I recently discovered...

Nature Connection.

So, what is Nature Connection? It is a new political movement from the United States which is catching on here, too. It is spearheaded by the Children & Nature Network. http://www.childrenandnature.org/

One of the founder members of the Children & Nature Network is Richard Louv, the author of "Last Child in the Woods; saving our children from Nature Deficit Disorder" (2005). http://richardlouv.com/books/last-child/

Nature Deficit Disorder is the term coined by Richard Louv, in his book, for a new kind of social disease; the increasing disconnect between children and the great outdoors.
