Ah, I’m a big Dr. Who fan but I think I’d be mortified if my son knew more about the show than the actual world he lives in. Thanks for the post!

Being outdoors seems to be a common theme with the carnival posts and my childhood memories are all outdoors too. Now kids go to Disney - we went camping!

Your stat about kids knowing an oak leaf is so poignant! I’d like to read that report, do you have a link? (although Master Yoda is important in my house! we are long time Star Wars Geeks!)

Ah yes, the freedoms of *our* youth. Now it depends where you live and if you know your neighbours and if you trust your neighbours and if the stream is safe to play in, etc etc. Things are so different now aren’t they? It makes me sad a little but I do love that we’re raising our children to practice being green and that it all comes so naturally.

I also used to spend tons of time outside, which surprises me now that I’m so indoorsy. I want to revive that for my son, but I can see it being tough as he gets older, with all the restrictions now on kids playing or biking outside alone. For now, I’m just trying to commit to getting him out to the beach or playground or on a walk every day. I wish we had more places to walk to, because I really enjoy it. I might have to get better at bicycling again!

I totally agree that I had to really sit and think about my childhood and whether or not it was green. The truth is that it was, especially in the beginning, and it really shaped me. I can’t imagine NOT knowing what an oak leaf looks like or what freshly pinched evergreen smells like.

It’s those moments as a kid, an explorer, that gave me confidence and a sense of connection with the world around me. I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t had nature.
