Stop watching short-form videos.

Meta-analysis of ~100k people shows how it is associated with decreased cognition and increased stress + anxiety.

I know this is correlation, not causation but ask yourself - do you feel great after a session of consuming reels/shorts?

Just popping in here to bring to your attention this new nature activity book for young adults (8yrs+) that we have been working on.
It should also be in book stores across the country soon. We hope this will help you and your kids/students connect with local nature around you!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of 'The SNAIL Network': https://t.co/t50W5IwOkY.

S.N.A.I.L stands for School of Nature, Action, Inquiry and Learning. It is a space for environment educators in India who champion place-based education at the school level. The digital repository is a database of peer-evaluated environment education resources contextual to India, available in multiple Indian languages.

We have made special effort to collate interdisciplinary (Science, Social Science, Language, Arts) resources that promote a contemporary understanding of environmental issues as well as inspire care and conservation action in today’s times.

The resources canvas a variety of formats: picture books, field guides, reports, stories, poems, posters, films, worksheets, activity ideas and more.

Do reach out to us with comments and feedback at [email protected].
