Green space near home during childhood linked to fewer respiratory problems in adulthood. Children who have access to green spaces close to their homes have fewer respiratory problems, such as asthma and wheezing, in adulthood, according to new research. In contrast, children who are exposed to air pollution are more likely to experience respiratory problems as young adults. Source 2q.
Growing up with green used to be a normal thing. You had the back yard and if it wasn't big enough it was your friend's back yard and the school park. This was how we played and made friends. Now its all about their phone and computer which takes them away from nature and physical activity, what a shame.
