Govenor to Fight Nature Deficit Disorder

 

altIllinois Govenor Pat Quinn vows to fight nature-deficit disorder.  In a recent press conference Pat Quinn had the following to say.  "I recently read a book -- it talked about nature deficit disorder where we should leave no child inside. 

I think in these hard times where a lot of families can't take a lot of vacations out of state, our state parks are precious.  As lieutenant govenor I worked on our rivers and conservation and I think parents want to take their children to see an eagle fly over the Illinois River -- you can do that right now -- and I think it's very, very important that we reopen the parks and make sure they're welcome."
