The Interconnected Environment and the Disconnected Self: An Exploration of Human Disconnection from Nature and its Influence on the Parallel Degradations of the Natural Environment and Human Health.
Is human health connected to the health of the planet?
Does a degraded environment necessarily reflect a degraded society?
Does our treatment of the environment reflect our treatment of each other?
Can data be used to explore and express these questions?
Can data journalism bring to light the essential need for deep connections between humans and nature?
Follow the explorations here on the blog.
