Daryl Hannah Backs UN’s International Day Of Diversity For Environment

Vegetarian Daryl Hannah says that children have Nature Deficient Disorder–where they spend their time playing video games or watching television instead of getting outside and learning about the Earth.
That’s why she’s throwing her support behind the UN’s International Day of Diversity on May 22, designed to teach children about looking after the planet.
According to Contact Music, Hannah told Britain’s Live from Studio Five, “We are in the midst of the biggest extinction crisis in human history. We’re losing 150 to 200 species every 24 hours and it’s all human caused. The UN and the CBD – the Convention for Biological Diversity – are trying to figure out ways to get kids engaged because they’re our future champions of the planet.”
Hannah then offered suggestions to get children involved, such as land cleanup or looking after local wildlife.
“You want as much diversity as possible and to encourage that with (children planting) seeds is a great way. Another great way to encourage kids is to put up a bird’s nest or to go out and be little scientists and track what’s in their neighborhood, and clean up their neighborhood – a park or a river.”
