Although we sometimes overlook it, this \u2018nearby nature\u2019 can be a source of well-being for individuals and the broader community. I will describe recent research, conducted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/happinesslab\/dr-zelenski\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carleton University Happiness Lab<\/a> and researchers around the world, on the potential benefits of nature. These include positive emotions, prosocial behaviour, health, and restoration from stress and mental fatigue. Beyond time actually spent in nature, developing a subjective sense of connection with the natural world is associated with many of the same desirable outcomes, and motivation to behave sustainably. I will consider some of the small things we can do to incorporate nature into daily life, with the goal of making happier people and a healthier community and planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aim of <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/events\/cu-in-the-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>CU in the City<\/strong><\/a> is to share FASS research with the community by holding research talks across Ottawa. The <strong>CU in the City<\/strong> series will provide opportunities for FASS faculty and students to interact with one another off campus as well as strengthen ties between FASS and the general public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Any questions?
