The contrast between Edward and George's childhoods is highlighted in a report which warns that the mental health of 21st-century children is at risk because they are missing out on the exposure to the natural world enjoyed by past generations.
There are two things I find interesting about this quote. 1) That mental health of our country (America) is going downhill. But what causes this? I'm sure there's just as much nature here as there is in Canada, and crime rates up there aren't nearly as high as ours. Possibly, do they focus more on mental health and treating it?
2)I've always believed being in nature is a huge part of being healthy, mentally and physically. To be apart from nature is to be apart from a portion of ourselves.
