I like winter but I love summer, I am always happy after camping out into the woods. She is so right, nature puts me in cloud nine. Best night that I spend  was wen I went camping and it rain for 12 hours none stop, and inside my tent it glowed all this neat colors every time there was lightning. Cant wait for my next trip.

Biophilia is really not tat complex... Nature will always has her mysteries, we as humans are at a understanding!!! It is not which or what u see tat causes stress and anxiety, it is which or how the person understand... As complex the human brain biology is, we are still at a verge of evolution!!!

Folks need to also understand that the use of chemicals is extremely detrimental to nature, including themselves!!!! Just because toxic materials are readily available at a store doesn't mean these substances are safe...PLEASE STOP SPRAYING...SAVE THE BEES!!!!

What about those of us who are disabled and secluded in Canada? I not only struggle with multiple sclerosis, which has me in a wheelchair and makes it very difficult to get outside and get my vitamin D. I not only struggle with severe depression but a huge desire to SMELL NATURE. I'm a student of psychology. I have always been very interested in neuro diversity as well, nature and the human 🧠

Intellect has served us well, but maybe time to reintegrate with nature…?

The Chinese Chang-e 5 has returned from the Moon on 12/17/2020, with great success. Congratulations, China! This is such a great accomplishment, despite the attempts of blockade and sanctions by some allied international powers. The success of being able to accomplish such a long term breakthrough project may be attributed to the stable political environment, which is not destructed by the constant political struggles for the presidency and party powers.
