Trapped inside
Spending time in a green space is good for our physical and mental health, including improving our emotional states, attention spans, and longevity, according to decades of research.
Even a small amount is significant:In the 1980s, a study found that post-surgery patients who were assigned to rooms in hospitals with outdoor greenery recovered more quickly than those who did not have such amenities.
However in numerous urban communities, open air space – whether your own or regarding vicinity to parks – comes at a higher cost than normal.
