Kids and adults pay a price for too much tech, and it's not wholesale.

We cannot protect something we do not love, we cannot love what we do not know, and we cannot know what we do not see. Or hear. Or sense.

Each of us-adult or child-must earn nature's gift by knowing nature directly, however difficult it may be to glean that knowledge in an urban environment.

Nature introduces children to the idea—to the knowing—that they are not alone in this world, and that realities and dimensions exist alongside their own.

If we desire a kinder nation, seeing it through the eyes of children is an eminently sensible endeavor: A city that is pro-child,for example, is also a more humane place for adults.

The pleasure of being alive is brought into sharper focus when you need to pay attention to staying alive.

Reconnection to the natural world is fundamental to human health, well-being, spirit, and survival.
