A study from Denmark suggests that growing up in the countryside may help you stay in good mental health as an adult. The rearch involving nearly a million people found children, who live in green areas, are 55% less likely to develop a mental health disorder in later life.
The rearchers believe green spaces help create friendly communities where people enjoy talking to others, as well as encouraging people to exerci. This helps improve a child’s cognitive (认知的) development, which may positively affect their mental health.
The rearch was led by Dr Kristine Engemann from Aarhus University in Denmark. The rearchers ud satellite data collected between 1985 and 2013 to asss (评估) the green space around the
participants’ childhood homes. This data was then compared agai nst the risk of developing mental disorders later in life. “After mastering a huge amount of data, as well as other information such as hou location and dia diagnos from Denmark, we compared it with satellite images which show green space of individual when growing up,” Dr Engemann said.
Results showed that tho who grew up surrounded by lots of green space were less at risk of a mental health problem. Dr Engemann said, “We find that the longer you have been surrounded by green space from birth and up to the age of 10, the lower the risk of developing a mental disorder. There is increasing evidence that the natural environment plays a more important role in mental health than thought before. Our study gives us a better understanding of its importance across the broader population.”

We have scenic beauty all around us, but looking around, much of
it is covered with food packages, plastic bottles, and other rubbish. Despite warning signs and boards that constantly say “No littering here!”, people are unwilling to understand the significance of keeping public places clean. However, Khao Yai National Park in Thailand has taken an unusual step to make sure tourists clean up
lock是什么意思
their own trash.
The park has begun nding trash back to the litterbugs (乱扔垃圾者) with a polite note saying “You forgot the things at Khao Yai National Park” to remind people that littering in public places is against the rules. Mr. Varawut Silpa-archa, minister of Natural Resources and Environment of Thailand, posted a ries of pictures on Facebook related with the new step. He posted a picture of a trash-filled box that was ready to be shipped with the words—“YOUR TRASH—WE’LL SEND IT BACK TO YOU.”
Varawut explained that throwing about trash could endanger wild animals, which might eat it by mistake when arching for food. He said littering in the park could carry a fine of up to 500,000 Thai Baht (about $16,000 U.S. dollars), a prison ntence of up to five years, or both. And the offending (违法的) visitors will also be banned from returning to the park.
The officials matched the trash to its owners by taking address details from the camping equipment rental forms. To make the process easier, people will be allowed to enter the park only after writing down their address.
“We think Khao Yai National Park’s new step has made a great contribution to maintai ning our country’s natural resources,” Charinya Kiatlapnachai, director of the tourism authority of Thailand, told The Washington Post. “This gesture is an effective way to ensure we all do our part to help our country remain clean, safe and beautiful.”
