Craig Ballinger Is your child a Videophiliac? “Getting yourself and your kids into the great outdoors may be the most essential step you can take to save the planet.”

A recent article in a feature edition of Scientific American “Earth 3.0 Sustainable Progress” as well as one written by a friend and local conservationist grabbed my attention. They were both addressing the same problem current in society’s youth particuarly amongst developed countries, one that as a teacher of Geography and Environmental Management may help to explain an alarming trend. In the article “Confronting Videophilia”, Patricia Zaradic discusses the disconnection young people have wit… Continue
