Why you should get outside and keep your cat indoors.
“I would love everyone to see the climate problem as an opportunity for making us healthier and allowing us to live longer lives. Every major climate solution has benefits for our health, for other species and habitats.”
– Rob Jackson, author of Into the Clear Blue Sky: The Path to Restoring Our Atmosphere
Dear Reader,
Dot sometimes fears that we are so immersed in our devices and screens (a writer I love recently referred to us as homo scrollus) that we forget that we are actually part of nature ourselves. As such, we need to remember that our health is tied inextricably to the health of the planet. “The air we breathe, the water we drink, the foods we eat and the medications we take are all by-products of a healthy planet,” the World Health Organization reminds us.
Getting outside into nature (Canadian doctors prescribe nature to patients — they recommend at least two hours a week) is not only valuable to our own health, it inspires us to protect our planet.
We don’t have to wait for a doctor to direct us to the great outdoors! We can just step outside … and reap the benefits.
Prescriptively,
Dot
