Research has shown that you don't even have to touch a tree to get better, you just need to be within its vicinity has a beneficial effect. In a recently published book, Blinded by Science, the author Matthew Silverstone, proves scientifically that trees do in fact improve many health issues such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), concentration levels, reaction times, depression and other forms of mental illness. He even points to research indicating a tree's ability to alleviate headaches in humans seeking relief by communing with trees. The author points to a number of studies that have shown that children show significant psychological and physiological improvement in terms of their health and well being when they interact with plants and trees. Specifically, the research indicates that children function better cognitively and emotionally in green environments and have more creative play in green areas. Also, he quotes a major public health report that investigated the association between green spaces and mental health concluded that "access to nature can significantly contribute to our mental capital and wellbeing". So what is it about nature that can have these significant effects? Up until now it has been thought to be the open green spaces that cause this effect. However, Matthew Silverstone, shows that it is nothing to do with this by proving scientifically that it is the vibrational properties of trees and plants that give us the health benefits and not the open green spaces.More at link: http://50.28.60.91/~upliftme/index.php/people/natural-healing/521-tree-hugging-scientifically-validatedWatch this 15-minute video of a beautiful demonstration singing plants while one of Damanhur’s researchers explain the phenomenon.Video of singing plants hooked up to electronics.

Follow this link to the real tree hugger ( short bus babe of the day )http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,17747.1305.htmlApparently all that outdoor air is good for the lungs! And have you ever seen a happier tree??
All I get there is a black box with a white X....is that Obama without a shirt?
This is why lawn mowers are so loud.So you can't hear the blades of grass screaming.
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

If Ft. Hood was "workplace violence," then the Hindenburg was an air show.
I don't know if sand glows in the dark, but we're gonna find out.
"...this rock that has so much life."God, I love that video.
And they don't even see the irony that it also has eleventy times the basic intelligence...
