Recharging in nature
The Naked Scientists Podcast
Introduction
This week, we are recharging in nature by looking at how stepping out into world country replenishes our well-being batteries. But there's a disconnect for drivers of electric cars, like the one we're sitting in. Many of the national parks are very much off-grid, paradoxically putting those doing their bit for the environment with an electric car from benefiting through potential fear of running out of charge. Fortunately, there's now a new initiative to solve the problem by powering up national parks with improved charging infrastructure and also investing in their conservation and boosting biodiversity. BMW and UK national parks have formed a partnership called the Recharge in Nature Project which aims to support people to get out in nature
