Not long ago, nature was our natural environment. Nowadays, more
and more children grow up in cities without much contact to
trees, hills, meadows and animals. For kids from low-income
families it can be even more difficult to spend time outside
their towns. And sometimes transport poverty can even prevent
necessary hospital visits. San Francisco based non-profit Yoots
has taken up the challenge to connect these children with the
outside natural world. In our new episode, Yoots founder Craig
Flax tells us how they do that and why free public transport
would be a good help, but not enough.

Hosted by Ed Crasnick and Jonathan Widder; edited by Thomas
Barth.
