Nature connection is natural when you are still a child. It tends to decrease during adolescence and then increase again during adulthood.

Do you feel like your own nature connectedness followed this trend?

I don't know for you, but for me it does. I had other concerns during adolescence and my interest for nature increase again while growing up.

Are you able to recall if your nature connection evolved with your employment status?

I remember that my nature connectedness was really strong when I was part time because I had more time to devote. On the contrary, when I was unemployed I was too worried and my nature connection decrease at that time. Today full time, I try to put consciousness on it and take the time to maintain it. I choose to make it a priority and I can do so because I realized how important this is for me.

Research evidence shows that improved nature connectedness benefits human wellbeing and pro-environmental behaviors. The higher the nature connectedness, the easiest it is to act for the environment. It can occur both by naturally reducing our impact on the environment by reducing our consumption to fit our actual needs and by taking action for biodiversity and sustainability.

Can you see a relationship between nature connectedness and pro-environmental behaviors? In yourself? When observing people around you?
