There is no end to the amount of evidence that links nature interaction with human health! Daycares in Finland built a 'Forest Floor', and it improved children's immune systems within a month. How does your preschool look? https://t.co/uut5EhIHi6

A chimpanzee's finger and a human finger are practically identical in every aspect. We don't come from primates, we are primates. We are nature. This is an assumption of our societies that is at the essence of sustainable futures.
