Many are also opening their eyes to the benefits of nature and tuning into it. More and more people are getting outside and lapping up the energy mother nature gives
Yes. We just had an election and the new government is keen to take climate action. Now forget about the green washing and political scams etc, what is more heartening is that this was largely due to young people who really care about nature. That makes me irrationally happy.
Gotta go .. off for a walk in the woods mushrooming and talking to birds and bugs and trees. Fuck the rest.
I do think this is the one benefit of this whole Covid shit!
People got outside and realised it felt really fricking good. I have been trying to push this into mental health for a long time. With the catastrophic collapse of the mental health service in England coming (very very soon) this is my goal. And to go private and help the thousand who are going to be dumped on the streets by the wonderful NHS. There is hope because people are seeing the benefits and so so many are getting into walking now and outdoor activities, it is wonderful to see ππ½
I loved going out walking in Somerset in that first lockdown.. met so many people who were exploring their local area for the first time EVER and having their first break in ages... They were loving it. It was so sweet to see.
I hear things are pretty bad over there, cost of living is getting crazy. Sounds like you are all at crisis point.
Beautiful spot Somerset has family down that way!
Yes getting really bad here. I'm on a good wage and still struggling. They have just announced another 40% increase in energy bills coming in October. In my town police are non-existent, it's a right shit show. 4Hr wait for an ambulance, unless there is someone being killed police won't turn up, they literally say sorry we don't have the resources. Literally, we have a police force 9 -1 during the week as they can't afford to run.
Desperate to sell my house and escape this island, where to go is the problem? The thing is we have a beautiful countryside I do love England but the dictatorship is bad as people can't even see what is going on π
