In honor of JanforGore:

"growing evidence that the natural environment provides major public health benefits"

"researchers found that people experienced more deaths from heart disease and respiratory disease when they lived in areas where trees had disappeared"

"we saw the same pattern repeated over and over in counties with very different demographic makeups"

    • Make the world suck less, plant a tree. Just think if we all could plant quick growing hemp plants every year, all the oxygen they would create and the carbon they would sequester.

    • I have noticed that when we bring our plants in during the cold spells. I don't feel as depressed as I normally would during grey overcast days
