This was ripe. A
real goodie. The Corp media was always worth a short flick.

Leman in Lausanne, Switzerland for the story of the healing power of nature.
Doctor’s
orders — spend two hours a week in nature
The point had been made by a famous
English lit. crit. of two or three generations ago whose name has been
forgotten: Put Wordsworth in the Tropics, what kinda “fair
seed-time” he get for
his soul?
Fast-forward now: rip out the forest
and jungle, substitute concrete, iron, steel and aircon; monoculture of rubber
and palm trees and chemical factories discharging into the waterways. (Hundreds of schoolchildren overcome by fumes the
last number of weeks in Johor.) Add drought, huge
disparities of income, political fixes, military regimes, blanket State-owned
media and consumerism plus plus plus. You find yourself in a pretty pickle.
