Green Space on Mental Well-being


Living close to green space, such as parks or woodlands, has a substantial effect on reducing people’s mental distress and increasing their overall life satisfaction, according to a new UK study. Tracking 18,000 people over an 18 year period, the improvements in mental well-being from green space is equivalent to one third of the impact of being married, but can benefit a lot more people in a neighbourhood. http://vimeo.com/64293418#
