Nature deficit disorder

I don't think it is a farce. As the population grows and we continue to eat up chunks of open and undeveloped land areas kids don't have the opportunities to explore and learn on their own. I can't remember the last time I stumbled onto a fort built by kids in some empty lot, it's been a long time!

Scary Green Monsters

I read the most recent PERC Reports from cover to cover. As mostly a stay at home mom of two, this issue was relevant to my life in so many ways. Thank you for the inspiritation to keep my kids outside with the dirt, the bugs, and the sun.
While we own many green propoganda books (Gumfounded is my favorite), I found "Scary Green Monsters" very compelling. Teaching our kids how to think is a lost art and sadly not found in many schools either. I'm devoting the rest of my day to asking "why" just like my 4 year old.
