Earth To Human is a luxury adventure/journey through the beauty of Gros Morne Naitonal Park and the Great Northen Peninsula of Newfoundland. The trip is part of the exploratory series of Horizon & Co. , a Canadian boutique travel bureau. Cultural and eco programming elements were woven into the weeklong experience. The adventure was organized with the cooperation of Parks Canada and is the brainchild of David Maggs, who is also the Artistic Director of the Gros Morne Music festival.

If you're a faithful reader of this blog you know that Joyce Schwarz is along for the eco-experience primarily to explore the impact that the outdoors has on future entertainment development/creation and to see what steps can be taken to conquer the mass epidemic of Videophilia where more kids in the USA are using their Xbox than their sandbox -- a phenom explored by a recent study by the US National Park Service. Watch for more on Videophilia and what Dr. Michael Newton, Memorial University of Newfoundland has talked about in his eco-psychology presentation about Biophilia!
