why
Why is it important to have nature in your home?
Today, sadly, many people hardly have time to go to local parks, forests, or other natural beauties.
And yet, many public health researchers conclude and agree, that being around nature can reduce anger, fear, and stress! Additionally, it can lower blood pressure, heart rate, and muscle tension.
Being more connected with nature has been proven to help people comprehend the actual effects of climate change, from large-scale changes to the effects on our local ecosystems! When we can see the effect on our homes, people are far more likely to pay attention, care, and make changes in their own activities to positively affect the world!
Who knows, a tiny cactus inside can lead to someone adopting a local creek and cleaning it up, or signing more petitions for eco-friendly legislature!
