A sloth is out for a walk when he's mugged by four snails. After recovering his wits, he goes to make a police report. "Can you describe the snails?" asks the officer. "Not well, it all happened so fast," replies the sloth.

People are spending less time outside today than ever before. Many believe that children will care less about nature, animals and wildlife when they grow up because they spend too much time in indoors or doing scheduled activities.

One group, the National Wildlife Federation proposes that kids 'unplug' from TV and computers -- except for Compass KidZ visits ;-) -- and 'plug in' to nature. They want children to take a daily "Green Hour", unstructured time to play and interact with the natural world. In that way children will stay connected to the wonder of nature.

What do you think about that idea? Do YOU spend time outside enjoying the natural world? What do you most like to do outdoors?.
