move into an environment

I would to ask if there is a function that send us into an environment. For example:

# create two environments
Env1 <- new.env()
Env2 <- new.env()

# assign one variable into each environment
assign("v1", "1", envir = Env1)
assign("v2", "2", envir = Env2)

# In order to refer to the variable in Env2 I have to use Env2$v2, for example 
print(Env2$v2)

# The question is if there is some function that sents us into Env2
# so that when we refer to the variable in Env2 to use just v2, that is
print(v2)

Thank you all

Depending on what you mean by "refer to the variable," attach does this:

attach(Env2)
print(v2)
## [1] "2"

detach()
print(v2)
## Error in print(v2) : object 'v2' not found

Attempting to modify the value is a different story, as it is attached at position 2.
