My topic of interest

"No Child Left Inside" is part of a growing international movement that directly guides my organization's mission. I am interested in comparing how the US stacks up to other countries in both our lack of nature time for our kids and our efforts to do something about it.

It wasn't until I started working in the field of environmental education that I was exposed to lots of information citing all the negative effects of not enough time outdoors for kids and how this is on a rapid increase with the increased emphasis on technology. However, since everything is focused on "green" living nowadays, re-connecting kids with nature is coming to the forefront of policymakers, parents, teachers, etc.
