It’s tough to teach kids an appreciation of nature when they’re hunched over a video game or computer screen. The National Wildlife Federation has a good idea: the Green Hour. The concept is simple — an hour of daily, unstructured playtime outdoors. Studies show kids who play outdoors are healthier, have lower stress levels, and better respect for themselves and the environment. Want to get started?
