Nature: Now Showing on TV

By Diane Ackerman
The more we exile ourselves from nature, the more we crave its miracle waters.

    This really interests me, but I see far-reaching implications of "Nature Deficit Disorder," having seen this happen over my 37 years of teaching. If people don't make opportunities to interact with nature, eventually our society won't care about nature enough to defend and protect it from destruction and exploitation by industry and development. I do enjoy the wildlife webcams, but living in NE MN in Superior National Forest, my windows offer similar views, very different from our former life in Minneapolis. I hope our society wakes up before it's too late.
