This is something Tone Tellefsen Hughes discusses in this interactive presentation on the benefits of being in nature.
Tone is a chiropractor and the co-founder of the charity Green Hub Project for Teens, and she is passionate about inspiring anyone at any age to get more nature into their lives. She shares some of the key scientific findings of how nature can influence our wellbeing and emotions, and also motivation. She also discusses the scientific benefits of volunteering in our communities and how it can help ourselves too.
The presentation encourages the listener to download the app ‘1000 Hours Outside’ to see if they can accrue 1000 hours outside in nature in one year. She also encourages the listener to share this presentation with the hashtag #1000outside to see if we can inspire as many of our friends to do the same and create a positive social revolution with more people getting out into nature.
