Use the hour to express yourself! Writing a poem about the Earth –or the plants and animals that call it home –helps you reconnect with nature on a deeper level, delight in little noticed details, and share your feelings about our changing world. 

Plus, did you know that our brains are actually wired to recognize and respond to poetry? It’s true–researchers have even found that thinking about poetry activates some of the same areas of the brain that help us make choices and navigate unpredictable events. And that’s the kind of creative thinking we need in order to collectively help our planet!
