REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Building Resilience Spend Time OutsideRachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?
Clark Chesshir 5/01/2020 2:33 PMYes, definitely - going outside helps my mental health and wellbeing. A culture that spends most of its time indoors furthers the false dichotomy of humans vs nature as being separate, and makes it easier to harm the planet and each other. -
