Mental Health and Nature

Published: May 13, 2021, 6:02 p.m.

Welcome to Think Green, a podcast hosted by Inter-Sustainability Council at UCSD. In Season 2, we will be discussing sustainability in the world and its intersections. In this episode, we talk about Mental Health and Nature. We'll talk about access to untouched wilderness and our realizations of our body's programmed hunter-gather mindset - and the impacts this has in living in this constructed society.  If you are interested in us or sustainable topics, follow ISC on Instagram (@iscucsd) or visit our website at (iscucsd.wixsite.com/main) for more updates.
