Since the first handprints appeared on cave walls between 40,000 and 60,000 years ago1, humans have felt the urge to create. Whether through song, sculpture, dance or literature, we’ve used art to explore our inner worlds, connect with one another, and make sense of the world around us. Art is not merely a pastime; it’s…

With huge issues like climate change, diet related health issues and the global decline in biodiversity, the need to change our food systems has never been more important.

15 ways to reconnect with nature

How much time would you say you spend outdoors in natural places? Would you be surprised if I told you that, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average american spends a whopping 93% of their time indoors, including time spent in their cars.
