One for @CotsLakesTrust ?

People benefit from exposure to nature, but that's a bit difficult to achieve where nature's been sprayed into oblivion

I first learnt that crash test dummies in the drivers' seat were always male dummies when I was, guess what, driving to a meeting for work! That was years ago, and I thought the regs about dummies had already been changed, not so. Beggars belief! thetimes.co.uk/article/women-…

Really useful report about impacts of recreation in protected areas. @RoseONei11 see-project.eu/reports

Great story, shame about the picture used by the BBC, since the evidence shows that you don't have to do special things to benefit from exercise. A brisk walk is enough. BBC News - Daily walk prevents one in 10 early deaths - study bbc.co.uk/news/health-64…

Times coverage of the 'walking is good for you' study. Picture implies that the walk should be somewhere nice. Walking in green places is better than polluted streets, but walking along a street is still better than sitting still and is easiest thing to do thetimes.co.uk/article/an-11-…
