Nature is about smelling, hearing, tasting, seeing.

When we raise our children, we relive our childhood. Forgotten memories, painful and pleasurable, rise to the surface.... So each of us thinks, almost daily, of how our own childhood compares with our children's, and of what our children's future will hold.

What if more and more parents, grandparents and kids around the country band together to create outdoor adventure clubs, family nature networks, family outdoor clubs, or green gyms? What if this approach becomes the norm in every community?

What would our lives be like if our days and nights were as immersed in nature as they are in technology?

Children need nature for the healthy development of their senses, and therefore, for learning and creativity.

Time spent in nature is the most cost-effective and powerful way to counteract the burnout and sort of depression that we feel when we sit in front of a computer all day.

These days, unplugged places are getting hard to find.
