A Natural Incentive

From the various topics involved in public health, I consider ecoliteracy to be not only extremely important, but also overlooked by many as a valid field in public health. Most individuals are not going out of their way to engage with Nature. To try and influence eco literacy among students, I created a set of challenges and rewards in order to inspire youth to seek natural settings, and connect their challenges with ecoliteracy. The best outcome of my project would be having the youth which participates in my challenges gain a positive experience in their environmental setting, while my hope is to determine whether the challenges I created and the incentive I used for rewards would motivate students to seek out environmental settings and partake in my nature challenges.
