HTLA Presents: How Not To Be Lonely: Part 5 - Feeling Lonely? Get Moving, Make Some Friends

We are facing a crisis. With the continuing pandemic, stress over climate change and natural disasters, and socio-economic uncertainty it&rsquo;s not hard to understand why millions of Americans say they don&rsquo;t feel OK. But there is a growing amount of proof in a simple treatment available to everyone: just stepping outside.
On Human/Nature, host Marcos Trinidad, a nature expert with roots in North East L.A., will inspire you to go out and explore and connect with nature in your city.&nbsp;
This podcast will empower you to reclaim your attention. Spending time in nature isn&rsquo;t just good for our minds &mdash; in this tech obsessed culture &mdash; it&rsquo;s the ultimate form of resistance.&nbsp;
Support for this podcast is made possible by Gordon and Dona Crawford, who believe that quality journalism makes Los Angeles a better place to live.
