  1. A quotation from Bill Watterson

       CALVIN: It offends the human ego that nature is indifferent to us. Nature doesn’t care if people live or die. It refuses to be tamed. It does whatever it wants and acts like people don’t matter. It won’t confirm our right to be here. That drives people crazy. We can’t stand being ignored. It’s insulting and … hey!
       HOBBES: YAWWNN. [wanders off]
       CALVIN: I think that’s also why some people don’t like cats.

    Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
    Calvin and Hobbes (1994-03-04)

  2. The #HonourableHarvest: Guiding Principles to Restoring Our Relationship to the #NaturalWorld

    Apr 12, 2021

    "We need acts of #restoration, not only for polluted waters and degraded lands, but also for our relationship to the world. We need to restore honor to the way we live, so that when we walk through the world we don’t have to avert our eyes with shame, so that we can hold our heads up high and receive the respectful acknowledgment of the rest of the earth’s beings."

  5. The #nature cure: how time #outdoors transforms our #memory, #imagination and #logic

    Without engaging with #NaturalEnvironments, our #brains cease to work well. As the new field of environmental neuroscience proves, exposure to nature isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity

    "You are probably aware of studies showing that green (#vegetated) and blue (moving #water) environments are associated with a reduction in stress, improved mood, more positive emotions and decreases in anxiety and rumination. But there is growing evidence that nature exposure also benefits cognitive function – all the processes involved in gaining knowledge and understanding, including perception, memory, reasoning, judgment, imagination and problem-solving. One study found that after just 40 seconds of looking out at a green roof, subjects made fewer mistakes in a test than when they looked at a concrete one."
