Take Care

Deficit is not often a word associated with nature, but it is what one author is calling the lack of nature in people’s lives in modern-day society. Without nature, society and the individuals within it face many disadvantages, which is why he’s advocating for a rediscovery of the natural world around us. Journalist and author Richard Louv is the co-founder and chair emeritus of the non-profit Children and Nature Network , and his newest book is called “ Our Wild Calling: How Connecting with Animals Can Transform Our Lives - and Save Theirs. ” He joined “ Take Care ” to talk about his work and how we can cure our nature deficit.
