Outside I Can

We're a new movement to connect Americans to the health & wellness benefits of the outdoors. Together we are inspiring millions to get outside. #OutsideICan

Fact: We spend 95% of our lives indoors. This just isn’t good for our health and happiness. But we can change that.

Join us on the #FirstDayofSummer to share how you get outside with #OutsideICan & take the pledge at https://t.co/jwCy2p40yV.

“If you've ever felt emotionally moved after completing a hike, or a challenging climb, you're probably familiar with the healing effect that the great outdoors can provide.”

We are all about that FEELING! #WednesdayWisdom

“Studies found that urban nature experiences reduce stress in the context of daily life"

No need to go to a national park to experience the benefits. Just eat your lunch outside or go for a walk through the city park. 🚶🏾‍♂️🏞️

“Families say it's challenging to find time to spend outdoors and kids are increasingly drawn to technology that keeps them inside.”

Looks like @mprnews is offering some advice on how to get around these obstacles.

“A bill ... could make outdoor recreation an official treatment option for veterans suffering from mental health disorders. It's a huge opportunity for vets—and our public lands.”

#OutsidICan heal! We fully support this type of thinking. 🙌🏾🙌🏼
