How To Improve Your Health and Better Care for the Environment

#167 Great.com Talks With... NEEF

There is no one right way to enjoy nature. Whether it’s long hikes in the mountains or reading a book in the park, people honour the outdoors in their own unique ways. Since the enforcement of COVID-19 restrictions, there has been a 100-150% increase in the usage of outdoors spaces in the US. Although this has been positive in terms of health and connection, this increase has also led to much quicker depreciation in times where the staff teams and maintenance are at a low. In this episode, we spoke with Sara Espinoza from The National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF) about the importance of raising awareness for the proper care of green spaces and encouraging small life changes for a collectively large environmental impact. 

We Don’t Need To Make Large, Expensive Gestures To Play an Active Part

In the US, the environmental movement has predominantly been led by the white and affluent in society. NEEF’s mission is to ensure that everyone sees they have a voice and a part to play in the protection of our planet, to show how we can all make significant changes in our lives in order to address pressing environmental issues such as climate change. Espinoza explains how NEEF work with companies and educators to encourage curiosity towards environmental issues, promote sustainable actions, and drive interest into STEM subjects and ‘greening’ career pathways.
