Today more than ever people are growing up in an environment surrounded by concrete, and their days are regulated by artificial light. Is it merely coincidental that the green spaces are diminishing and that we are dealing with world wide environmental issues. I have friends that are afraid to sleep overnight in the woods. Is this a result of the urban lifestyle? I tend to think that people are afraid of the unknown, and as more and more people grow up away from nature they become afraid of it. This may be the core issue in getting people to take action against climate change. The apathy that is instilled in individuals that never see a forest sheerly by their upbringing.
Its very strange for me as I have always been in the forest camping, hiking and playing. But then again I'm also very passionate about the environment.
