Remember how kids used to play outside every day, running through the neighborhood until sunset? In this episode of EcoSense for Living, we explore “Nature Deficit Disorder,” a term coined by Richard Louv (author, Last Child in the Woods), to describe the physical, mental, and emotional effects that children suffer when they lose contact with nature. Louv pinpoints how we came to be a nation separated from the natural world and how we can reverse it.
