Nature Connection Will Be the Next Big Human Trend | Daniel Crockett
Nature Connection Will Be the Next Big Human Trend | Daniel Crockett

'Something is amiss and we can't quite put our finger on what. It seems that the further our society progresses,
the more disenfranchised we feel. The hyper-connectivity of social media (which has its own potential) leaves us cold and over-informed, saturated with unwanted information and more aware than ever of the injustices of the world. It seems that the more virtually connected we get, the more disconnected we become, both from each other but also from our communities. I believe that a necessary backlash to this trend is a large-scale reconnection with nature that has the ability to transcend previous environmental movements and reshape our world. Moreover, I believe this undercurrent is gaining momentum and influencing every element of our lives. It's a revolution of belonging.'
