The UK National Ecosystems Assessment has just produced a report which highlights the ‘hidden value’ of nature and has produced economic benefits onto various aspects of the natural environment. Highlights of the report which provide further evidence as to the importance of the work of the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare, most notably the NHS Forest, is the following:“The health benefits of living with a view of a green space are worth up to £300 per person per year”.
"If you want to go green, look after your health – a major operation compares to two short-haul flights." So says a recent blog on the Guardian website by Mike Berners-Lee.
