Tuesday, December 5, 2023

LONDON, Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- American Forests, Woodland Trust, and The Centre for Sustainable Healthcare today unveiled the U.K. Tree Equity Score, a tool from U.S. conservation nonprofit American Forests intended to bring awareness to the inequitable tree cover across 34,000 of its urban neighborhoods — nearly 80% of the population — and the disparities such variance brings.

Key Points: 
  • Tree Equity Score shows what it would take to increase the U.K.'s average urban tree cover to 30%, roughly doubling it.
  • Because trees are essential infrastructure, space and budget for trees should be incorporated into public policy including housing, transportation and health.
  • Retrofitting trees into hard landscapes will be essential to improving Tree Equity in dense cities world wide.
  • American Forests' Tree Equity Score tool has been in use in the United States for two years and is integral to its plans to advance Tree Equity in 100 cities by 2030.

How community gardening could ease your climate concerns

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, September 28, 2023

It’s possible that our growing awareness of climate issues may arise from the overreporting of negative news in a media-fuelled and hyperglobalised world.

Key Points: 
  • It’s possible that our growing awareness of climate issues may arise from the overreporting of negative news in a media-fuelled and hyperglobalised world.
  • The growing awareness of this emerging mental health issue has led to some suggestions on how to cope with climate anxiety.
  • One potentially more engaging and effective way to cope with the anxiety brought on by the climate crisis is community gardening.
  • The project involved enlisting schools, scout groups and other young people to cultivate the area, resulting in the planting of 250,000 trees.
  • The young volunteers who participated expressed that these activities helped “massively” in reducing their climate anxiety.

In it together

    • Community gardening is beneficial because it allows people to deal directly with their climate concerns by doing good for the environment.
    • Growing flowers that attract bees can make you feel like you’ve done something good for the ecosystem.
    • Gardening – whether it involves digging, sowing or harvesting – is also inherently good for your physical and mental health.

Immersed in nature

    • Engaging in community gardening also encourages people to spend more time in nature.
    • In 1982, the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries introduced the therapeutic practice of “shinrin-yoku”, the Japanese ritual of forest bathing or immersing oneself in the presence of trees.
    • It was developed as a response to the substantial rise in anxiety and stress-related illness brought about by rapid urbanisation and long working hours.
