The Nature Rating

Super, Natural British Columbia has launched The Nature Rating, a digital tool designed to help you assess and improve your connection to the natural world.

The organization’s new Nature Report, which surveyed 2,000 U.S. adults, uncovered a growing “nature deficit” caused by lots of screen time and not so much outdoor activity.

Using AI, The Nature Rating analyzes films, TV shows, books, and music for over 270 nature-related keywords, assigning each title a score out of 10.

As a bonus, you can also get recommendations for more nature-rich content, plus tips for enjoying the outdoors.

There’s also AI-powered campaign creation, intelligent automation triggered by CRM updates or customer actions, and optimal timing recommendations for higher engagement.
