A little less screen and a little more green

This is not another guilt inducing post about how we are all ‘addicted’ to our screens, but it is a gentle reminder about the huge benefits of making some more conscious decisions about how and where we spend our time and attention. We know that nature and spending time immersed in the natural living world has a profound effect on every element of the human body. From the physical effects to the psychological, the social, the emotional and the cognitive. For thousands of years our indigenous cultures have certainly known this to be true, and now we continue to have a barrage of scientific research to support those many benefits. So aiming for a little more green, despite the ever present pull of screens and technology, can only be a good thing.
