The data on the positive impacts of visiting, appreciating, and being near natural areas keeps rolling in!
Nature connection matters!
A new study finds that frequent nature visits and stronger nature connectedness boost well-being & environmental actions. 🌱🌍🧪

Understand science funding cuts and their consequences … Economists have warned that cutting federal funding for scientific research could, in the long run, damage the U.S. economy by an amount equivalent to a major recession.

Trump Has Cut Science Funding to Its Lowest Level in Decades
The lag in funding extends far beyond D.E.I. initiatives, affecting almost every area of science: chemistry, computing, engineering, materials and more.

Exactly!
Should we be worried about climate change? Heck, yes. (But let’s make sure we get the facts right, and skip the most extreme doomer yarns — which aren’t based in science…)
Should that freeze us into inaction? Heck, no!
It should lead to agency and action!

The answer is: we need both worry AND efficacy. Worry wakes us up, and efficacy powers action.
Without worry, there's no need to act: but without efficacy, we'll have a world full of worried people who feel helpless, hopeless, and don't know what to do. Which is very close to where we stand today.
