The value of greenspace
|
Exposure to green space is not a luxury, but a basic necessity to maintain health and well-being. According to a study in the Netherlands, looking at an aesthetically attractive natural green living environment can improve your health and well-being by reducing stress and mental fatigue. 1 Green space can also enhance your sense of satisfaction with life and appears to increase safety, by encouraging a sense of social cohesion and responsibility. For example, it was found that green space reduces aggression and leads to a fall in the crime rate. Related articles
