Scrum Master - CrowdDoing.world's Nature Counter

 

Min Qualifications required: Bachelors / Masters

 

Min Experience Required: (in no. of yrs) 2+

 

Experience or Knowledge in a specific subject or area required: Experience software development, project management

 

Minimum Volunteer hours required: (in hrs per week) 5-20

 

Project Overview:

Project Name:

 

Nature Counter

Project Duration: (in months) 6-12 months (Ongoing)

 

Project outline:

120 minutes a week in nature is a basic minimal nature dose every person in a city should achieve as a matter of public health. 90 minutes a day five days a week every week is an optimal recommended dose of nature for every person in a city. CrowdDoing studied biophelia in cities and found that there are more than one hundred diseases that can be prevented through access to nature. Nature Counter is a CrowdDoing concept, imminently to become a functional prototype that lets each person see if they are getting that level of time in nature per week or per month. Time in nature is approximated through the kind of nature that exists in cities- geo-locations of people based on their cell phones when they are in parks. Nature Counter tracks each person’s time in park when the application is on. This allows people to track it the way step counters track it. The aim is to have a universal public health goal of getting the city’s people to have enough time in parks to realize the biophelia collective health dividend. The concept is that nature is both an individual activity and a collective goal that friends should encourage each-other to achieve. Nature Counter is aimed at getting each person to track their time in nature and adjust their calendar over time to increase their time in nature. Our estimations are that people’s time in nature would rise if they could track this and have target goals for their health due to time in nature accordingly.

Assuming that San Francisco residents visit parks at an average level, they would visit parks 29 times a year- https://www.nrpa.org/blog/29-number-of-times-americans-visit-their-local- parks-annually/. Assuming the minimal dose goal, each person would need to increase that by another 40% to get to an average of a weekly visit to a local park and experience of biophelia. Each person would need to expand that dose by 1000% to reach the optimal dose. This is where a biophelia counter can come it and help people reach for more biophelia time in their lives.

""Realizing that nature is a collective benefit for the health of a city, CrowdDoing.world is working with cities worldwide to institute measurable biophelia goals. Biophelia goals include metrics such as how much time people spend in nature, frequency of parks and parks visits, and time spent in parks.

 

A biophelia counter is a concept CrowdDoing.world is developing that will aid people in tracking their biophelia, or the amount of time they spend in nature. CrowdDoing.world is partnering with local groups of volunteers to develop, test, and launch biophelia counters in each city.

 

Biophelia counters will use geo-location technology to track how often people access parks. Each biophelia counter will have a mobile app that tracks how often a person accesses a park, and for how long. The biophelia counter app will also track whether the person visited a park before or after going to work, or after coming home.

 

Biophelia counters will track goals set by cities for biophelia, so people will know that they are getting the proper amount of biophelia, and time in nature. CrowdDoing.world will be collaborating with cities to set goals, so biophelia counters will help people track their progress in achieving their goals.

 

A biophelia counter will allow people to set goals for themselves, and to track their progress in achieving their biophelia goals. There are hundreds of diseases that can be prevented through access to nature. By tracking biophelia, biophelia counters help people achieve the goal of biophelia.

With this project, CrowdDoing.world wants to create a community of volunteers around biophelia. Through this project, people can participate in the creation of the first global network of biophelia counters. By using biophelia counters, people can better understand their health and wellness, and set healthy goals.

 

If you'd like to join our Nature Counter team in CrowdDoing.world working to build the first global network of biophelia counters, please fill out this form, and follow the instructions.

 

Explore an interactive urban nature system as an Explorer. While in the forest, you will learn about biodiversity, the impacts of climate change, how to communicate and engage with others, and how to save our biodiversity via responding to scientific concerns about climate change. You will explore the forest and its significance to global biodiversity.

Through the lens of urban ecology, we explore the relationship between human development and the natural environment. We seek to understand the complex interplay of urbanization, biodiversity and ecosystem services, which underlie the conservation of wildlife, and ecotherapy and forest therapy. We also want to generate innovative ideas for how forests can be incorporated into urban environments in order to maximize their ecological value and human psychological and physiological benefits.

Our program is designed to give you an introduction to the field of Urban Ecology, forest therapy, attention restoration theory, and nature deficit disorder reduction. Nature Counter users will learn from the app and the course a deeper understanding of the importance of the natural world, as well as new perspective on the urban environment and our impact on it and its impacts on people. In addition, participants will have a greater appreciation for forests, trees, and other species of plants and animals, and for the vital role that they play in sustaining life on Earth, and helping to improve human mental health, productivity, and many dimensions of wellbeing.


 

The goal is to democratize nature immersion as a self-care tool for everyone in every field of practice.

Nature counters are a first step towards that goal - but they cannot replace personal engagement with nature. They are not substitutes for the human touch of nature immersion.

We are now ready to take the next steps towards democratizing nature immersion as a self-care tool for every field of practice. We envision future forest therapy programs that teach you how to build your own nature counter. It will be possible to share experience with fellow nature enthusiasts, to find nature based events near you, and to build a network of like minded nature enthusiasts. The idea is to create a system where you can easily engage with nature and nature immersion wherever you are, whenever you want.

 

As part of the process, a set of best practices developed for the private sector can be used to standardize nature immersion in the public sector.

In addition, a new field of research into nature immersion and its impacts on organizations' culture, operations, and bottom line.

How would the world change if we were able to assure every person in every organization in the world has the opportunity to engage in the kind of personal, hands-on, nature immersion experiences that are proven to improve their health, reduce their stress, and increase their productivity?

Imagine a future where every person in all sorts of jobs gets an optimal dose of nature.

This is our vision of a world where everyone has access to nature. Where a day in nature is a normal part of any job.

Our program wouldn't be possible without our incredible community of volunteers!

Backpack Buddies feeds hungry children in your neighbourhood. Hungry kids often rely on school-based meal programs during the week, and then suffer in silence over weekends and other school breaks—when meal support is scarce. Backpack Buddies fills this “weekend hunger gap” by discreetly providing bags of food directly to kids every Friday. These bags contain enough meals and snacks to last the weekend and beyond, ensuring kids return to school nourished and ready for the week ahead.

We provide up to 5400 bags of food every weekend to kids living in food insecurity throughout British Columbia. The bags are filled with meals, fresh fruits and snacks and are packed entirely by volunteers at our warehouse.

Your volunteer shift will include packing bags of food for the kids in our program. We will provide a brief orientation at the beginning of your shift, but tasks include:

Ensuring that you have the necessary items at your packing station to fill that week’s bags
Filling the bags with the listed food items for the week and loading the filled bags onto pallets
Assist with clean up and recycling at the end of the shift.

Individual opportunities are available on an ongoing basis. We run shifts from 9:30am to 11:30am OR 1:00pm to 3:00pm. A team member will reach out to schedule when you sign up.

Group opportunities are also available for up to 8 people. Please reach out to Lorraine@backpackbuddies.ca to schedule a volunteer day for your team.

Environmental economist Volunteer Catastrophic Wildfire Prevention
http://preventwildfire.world/

The earth is burning; e.g., USA/California, Brazil, Australia. Regional impacts of wildfires are widespread affecting health, housing, agriculture, biodiversity, and economies. Our post hoc ""pay for damage done"" insurance strategies are woefully inadequate for these rising challenges.

We need to seize the opportunity that is now possible. We think the science has gotten better, and a new inflection point is possible. If we leverage a broader diversity of disciplines with increasing bearing on the intractable challenge of catastrophic wildfire prevention, we can reclaim collective agency. We think that could be possible via increased design science for prevention, mitigation and loss reduction at the landscape and community level.

We plan to develop a year-round alliance of ecosystem partners that can help us transformationally scale catastrophic wildfire risk prevention through better understanding of the opportunities for ""action"" that is preventative and the costs of inaction that these mitigation steps will avoid. We believe that systemic change in wildfire risk reduction is possible and want to speak about the possibility of strategic collaboration to shift the practice of stakeholders at risk so that California does not become increasingly unliveable every year. We believe catastrophic wildfire risk prevention can help us get ahead of the curve counteracting these harms.

CrowdDoing is launching a year-round virtual Global Alliance for Catastrophic Wildfire Prevention with shared values and an open invitation for participation.

Global Alliance for Catastrophic Wildfire Prevention

Shared Principles:

- More reuse of global knowledge regarding how to prevent catastrophic wildfires is necessary.
- We need greater leveraging of knowledge from across disciplines in order to prevent the growing risk of catastrophic wildfires due to climate change.
- We need greater collaboration both locally and globally to achieve the community level goal of regeneration and reduced catastrophic wildfire risk.
- There is interdependence across the ecosystem of approaches and interventions for preventing catastrophic wildfires.
- The more upstream we can intervene effectively to prevent catastrophic wildfires, the more co-benefits for stakeholders we can create
