Environmental education allows individuals to explore a wide range of environmental issues and connect to nature. As a result, individuals can discover a deeper understanding of environmental issues and a sense of belonging. Connecting to nature through activities such as mindfulness has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety in individuals of all ages and introduces concepts and techniques that can be used in everyday life..
