We will be presenting a five-part investigation series focusing on nearsightedness, officially known as myopia. We will examine this growing phenomenon and what it tells us about our nature exposure. These will post twice weekly on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons beginning July 6th
Our intention is to inform you why the Biodome is very important specifically in today's world.
The Biodome is always greeted as a welcome concept. People visualize the inherent “sunny day” ambience with flowers and trees, winding paths and sparkling waterfalls, and embrace it as very desirable.
The enhancements of a theater, study lounge/community room, conference room and small gathering spaces to entwine daily living into the garden, adds to the positive response. Still, there is an undertone that is a nicety, rainbows and unicorns, less than a front line necessity or top funding priority right now.
Even the Environmental Protection Agency struggles with this, resorting to hard hitting bottom line dollar values of environmental services in terms of trees absorbing air pollution to substantiate the importance of nature in our daily lives.
The Biodome would serve as more than a nice gathering place. It will be a mental health, nature solace resource. But are we so nature deprived this is essential?
See you July 6th!
