Imagine a world without nature. Imagine a world where children do not climb trees, play in the snow, build clubhouses, watch shooting stars, go camping, or explore in the woods.
Unfortunately, that is the future we are headed toward. Our children are one of the first generations to grow up almost entirely indoors, spending up to 27% of their time indoors and only 1% outdoors. They are increasingly detached from the natural world. They do not understand how natural systems work, where their food comes from, or human impact on the environment. How can we expect them to inherit and address the vast issues facing our world today, if they cannot understand the importance of the natural world?
Environmental Educators of North Carolina is one of numerous wonderful organizations working towards increasing environmental education efforts in the state and beyond. We are asking you to give to environmental education so we can imagine a world where our children are surrounded by environmental education.
