Here in Chicago, we are fortunate to have an excellent public radio station. There is a wide variety of programs with local, national, and international focus, and one of my perennials favorites is Worldview. Yesterday's programs focused on Permaculture, which is something that every budding environmentalist should become familiar with. More than yet another ecological buzzword, permaculture is learning to seamlessly blend human existence within nature, not paving over it and killing everything we don't deem beneficial.
Do a quick Google search for Permaculture and read through the material. Study after study has proven the link between psychological/physical health and how much time you spend in natural environments, and this is a way to bring the natural world home instead of having to confine it into a forest preserve or public park.
Here is the link to the entire program. Listen, learn, and take action!
