I have posted on Nature Deficit Disorder before. This morning I saw a post on The Liberated Way entitled, just that.
The post has a link to a satirical video clip from Holland, with English subtitles. It also has another video clip, Nature’s Child.
Check out his post, it is real, and it is happening; Nature Deficit Disorder, our children are suffering from it.

A weekly challenge from Reduce Footprints blog. I try to participate weekly.
Each Friday, something to think about
A walk on the natural side each Sunday (or Monday...)
The Apothecary - A place to find natural products and remedies
The Green Ink Bottle - A repository for my quotes
So how have we gotten so far off course? When the label of ‘green’ was introduced, it was seen as a mission statement; something that would entitle the customer to some sense of comfort that they product they were supporting (which was usually more expensive) was working with the Earth’s best interests at heart. Instead we have simply completed a full consumerist revolution; the label has been taken, assigned a cultural identity and used to sell a piece of a lifestyle that is intended to speak more to your peers than to subsidize an environmental commitment.

>Alex, we have truly lost our global sense of nature and it is not only the modern first world, the third world is more money, more money too.

“For a child playing outside is the best there is” perfect last words. When I have to go in the city it feels just like a ghost town to me. We too were always outside. Alex did good finding this one.

>lsf, cities are dead zones. Kids who play outside are healthy, they have a better perspective of the world, they are the ones who hold our hopes.

I shudder to think how my boys would have turned out if I hadn’t left the city to raise them.
