This was a great article. Thanks for posting it. I've had major depression all my life and nothing helps like a walk in the rain forests when I'm up in Washington. I think we need "green" to feel better (well, at least northern Europeans do). It may also be the negative ions involved. Either way, thanks for posting it.
"ecotherapy"! I think that's a terrible study; it's just sunshine, peace and quiet, solitude, and mild exercise. I used to get that, and the benefits of it, walking in the City of London on a Sunday, in one of the most built-up environments on Earth. Comparing it with an indoor shopping centre, even if it wasn't heaving with stressed consumers, is hardly a fair comparison.
I can just picture people on a crowded country trail, bumping into each other, and wondering why they're not feeling more cheerful from the chlorophyll-coloured stuff as advertised.
I'm just listening to Nature (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/nature.shtml) on Radio 4 (previously broadcast last night, and available via that link and Listen Again). Did you hear it? They're discussing urban river restoration, and I thought of you when they started talking about the Wandle watervoles.
