The Butterfly Effect Toward a Nature Smart Society

We are living in times of great transformation. In a world of multiple crises, a drastic change is underway, and nothing we are used to will stay the same. We need to unleash our creative energies and actively seek for what’s the Next and the New Normal in the future. This transformation is clearing the way for a new society to emerge. Only through embracing change and understanding the very essence of human creative capacity and human-nature connection can we build a future for the betterment of humans and the planet. A Nature Smart Society is the way forward, based on the different types of human needs: sense of trust, sense of consistency, sense of belonging, sense of being valued, sense of being heard, and sense of meaning and purpose. To support all levels of human needs is to create a more resilient culture and a more humane society. A Nature Smart Society is a safe and healthy place for all to flourish in all aspects of our lives: to live, love, learn, work, and play well. It is a natural human habitat of wellbeing, wealth, health, harmony, hope, and happiness as a future goal for humanity and the planet.
