Florence Williams

For centuries, poets and philosophers have extolled the benefits of a walk in the woods. Intrigued by our storied renewal in the natural world, Florence Williams set out to uncover the science behind nature’s positive effects on the brain. She made her way to Town Hall to uncover the powers of the natural world to improve health, promote reflection and innovation, and ultimately strengthen our relationships. Williams was joined in conversation with Diane Regas, CEO of The Trust for Public Land. From forest trails in Korea, to islands in Finland, to groves of eucalyptus in California, Williams and Regas investigated the science at the confluence of environment, mood, health, and creativity. Together, Williams and Regas invited us to consider how, as our modern lives shift dramatically indoors, the insight and answers we receive from the natural world are more urgent than ever. Florence Williams is a journalist, author, podcaster, and public speaker. She is a contributing editor at Outside Magazine and a freelance writer for the New York Times, New York Times Magazine, National Geographic, The New York Review of Books, Slate, Mother Jones and numerous other publications. She is also the writer and host of two Gracie-Award-winning Audible Original series, Breasts Unbound and The Three-Day Effect, as well as Outside Magazine’s Double-X Factor podcast.  Diane Regas joined The Trust for Public Land in the spring of 2018 as president and CEO. Prior to The Trust for Public Land, Diane worked for more than a decade at Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), most recently as executive director, where she helped EDF advance solutions that promote prosperity for all people and for the planet. Promotional Partners: Harvard Club of Seattle, Harvard Alumni for Education, Seattle University College of Science and Engineering. Recorded live in the Forum at Town Hall Seattle on October 3, 2019.

88. Florence Williams with Diane Regas: The Nature Fix

“It’s really important that we think about cooling the areas where people are living, working and playing, and parks do that,” Diane Regas on Green Connections Radio. Whether you hang out in your local park with your kids or dogs enjoy reading on a park bench, or hiking in a national park this spring, you probably didn’t realize the park is also helping to mitigate climate change.  Listen to Diane Regas, President and CEO of The Trust for Public Lands, explain how - and give great career advice for women in mid-career - in this vibrant conversation with Green Connections Radio host Joan Michelson. You'll hear: ·       How parks help reduce CO2,  lower the temperature between 14 and 17 degrees and reduce local flooding. ·       Bring communities together, blurring political, religious and other boundaries.   ·       Create economic value in their communities.   ·       What you can do in your own area.   ·       Plus, great career advice, including how to "take care" of your career, from this woman who has had several high-profile leadership roles, including at the Environmental Defense Fund. “People have lots of different pathways to make a difference. There are so many companies now that have sustainability projects and programs….so I think there are a lot of pathways,” Diane Regas on Green Connections Radio You'll want to check out these interviews too: ·       Lee-Anne Walters, Community Organizer in Flint, Michigan who won the Goldman Environmental Prize for galvanizing her community to get their lead-contaminated water addressed. ·       Lynne Cherry, Author of Chidren’s books on the environment and filmmaker with environmental kids. ·       Ellen Sabin, Author of “The Greening Book” that teaches kids to be friends with the Earth, and many other similar books for kids. ·       Flo Stone, Founder of the DC Environmental Film Festival. ·       Soledad O’Brien, Host of “Matter of Fact” on Hearst TV and former anchor at CNN and MSNBC, on environmental journalism.
