    52.5hrs per week ofscreen time

    Flu rates amongst Swedish childrenwhere time in nature is mandatory, are

    less than half the rates in Canada

    Vandalism drops directly inproportion to the number oftrees in a neighbourhood

    A significant experience in Nature with an adult early inlife, correlates directly to a reduction of screen time

    with teens of more than 20hrs/week

    Dirt and bacteria are required forthe development of a healthy

    immune system

    This is the first time in history thatwe, as parents will live longer

    lifespans than our children

    Teacher absenteeism drops when

    they work in a natural setting

    60% of children at a traditionalplaystructure are completely sedentary
