OUR CONNECTION WITH NATURE IS BROKEN

Re-connecting with nature is a subject I am passionate about and inspired me to create this piece of work. The window is intended to invoke a conversation, to give everyone an understanding of why it is so important. I wanted to raise our awareness about the impact our disconnection has on ourselves, each other, and the environment.

I want to share with you the links below, to give you an insight into some of the research I found, and to give you more information. Within the links you will find easy ways everyone can have access to nature, to get themselves re-connected - no matter where they live.

“Within a generation, if we promote connecting with nature in the young we would significantly be improving their health and wellbeing for the future and also they are more likely to become involved in conservation and environmental protection as adults – this can only be a good thing.”
