Humans depend on nature - but, as time goes on, we have migrated to more urban cities & forgotten the value of forests, parks, & green areas. Spending time in green spaces has innumerable benefits. Not only does it improve our mental health & well-being, green spaces provide an environment for activity & exercise. As parks lose popularity, childhood obesity rises. Those without access to parks or such places, are less likely to be physically active.
