Growing Disconnection with Nature

   I feel that there is a danger to the growing disconnection with nature that is becoming more prominent. No longer are kids going outside for recreation but instead are spending most of their time inside. Video games have changed things so that you no longer need to go outside to play sports. This may be more convenient but it doesn't allow kids to connect with nature and learn an appreciation for the environment around them. The danger in this is that without an appreciation for nature how can we expect kids to respect and take care of the environment.
