Biophilia │ Letting Nature Encroach on Us

For centuries, mankind has encroached on nature. This film explores the question - what if we reversed the equation and allowed nature to encroach on us?
Join young architecture aficionado Louisa Whitmore as she investigates the concept of biophilic design and its potential to re-connect us with nature. Louisa crosses Canada to meet with activists, architects and researchers who explain how this important movement can work to fulfill our biological human desire to be surrounded by the natural elements.
The biophilia movement is gaining popularity in other parts of the world due to the positive impacts on mental health, productivity and the urban climate. Our hope is that this film will shine the light on this path and encourage Canadians to get behind the movement.
The Muskoka Roastery contributes 1% of annual sales each year to a variety of organizations who share our commitment to sustainability and substantive change. For this film we made a donation to the Green Cities Foundation who, fittingly, work to design and build urban green spaces - to reduce the effects of climate change, to help people breathe and to improve the overall quality of life in Canadian cities.

That was a great watch, thank you. It makes me wish I still worked in environmental policy for the UK government, which I did for 10 years.
I've visited Vancouver on a number of occasions but never seen those particular buildings, I feel like I missed out!
And a great presenting job by Louisa - I follow her on Tiktok and miss her videos, she must be very busy with her degree but I hope she returns to the account someday. She has natural passion and enthusiasm for the subject that really pulls viewers along with her. Bravo team Biophile!
