SUMMARY:(note: Conversations on the Environment: Richard Louv)
DESCRIPTION:Green Drinks KC Meetup Group\n\nFuturist and journalist Richard
  Louv\, author of Last Child in the Woods and six other books\, speaks abou
 t what he calls the "Nature Deficit Disorder" in the fourth installment of 
 Conversations on the Environment on Wednesday\, April 23 at 7 p.m. at the P
 laza Branch of the Kansas City Public Library\, 4801 Main Street. Admission
  is free.\n\nAs a child growing up in Raytown\, Louv explored the woods aro
 und his home. As an adult\, he researched what's happening to today's wired
  generation of America's children and then coined the phrase "Nature Defici
 t Disorder" to describe the most disturbing childhood trends: the rise in o
 besity\, attention disorders and depression.\n\nLouv's body of research ind
 icates that direct exposure to nature is essential for healthy childhood de
 velopment and for the physical and emotional health of children and adults.
  More than just raising an alarm\, Louv offers practical solutions and simp
 le ways to heal the broken bond â?? and they are right in our own backyard.
