Nature-Deficit Disorder

As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, I find myslef constantly wanting to be outdoors more often. I love the outdoors! I can remember the many days and afternoons that I used to spend outdoors playing. So I was somewhat shocked when I heard about nature-deficit disorder. Please take a few minutes to listen to this quick interview with Richard Louv, author of "Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder" and let me know what you think.
