Thanks to a NatGen grant of $750, MCPL’s Green Teens will launch a campaign to help their peers get Back 2 Nature. The Back 2 Nature initiative aims to address two important issues facing today’s teens: climate anxiety and the negative impacts of pervasive social media use, offering teens ways to re-connect with nature through workshops on environmental activism and stewardship, self-care and mental health, caring for nature, and sustainability. For more information, contact Kristine Tanzi at 631-585-9393 ext. 230.
