Hello @storiesoferne. Nature and man are inextricably linked and living in the "concrete jungle" people lose contact with nature. I also noticed this trend, that concrete structures are reclaiming territory from nature. Although it is obvious that it is possible to create a harmonious city that will be both "green" and architecturally developed. I like how they did it in Singapore. I hope that this trend will continue in many other cities. By the way, Belarus is called the “lungs of Europe”, because we have a lot of forests and thanks to this, the air is considered clean.
You shared amazing and helpful tips on how to bring nature into your home. I use most of these methods in my home. Flowers on the windows perfectly complement the space of the apartment. I agree that unity with nature gives us peace and health (mental and physical), and this is very important.
Thanks for the informative post, I learned a lot for myself. Best wishes☺️

Thank you so much @danny.green. Whether people are aware of it or not, the mutual fate of humanity and nature is inseparable. Our innate link with Mother Nature could not simply be terminated, otherwise causing our immediate extinction. The symbiotic relationship of man and the natural world is the primary reason for our existence, becoming the lifeblood of the universe. That's why, while people have been trapped in the concrete jungles of cities and urban landscapes, the presence of natural elements in these built spaces helps in alleviating the health crisis. I also consider Singapore as my favorite example of a highly developed metropolis that has not compromised the healing benefits of its natural resources.
Congrats on the tremendous global honor your beloved country of Belarus has endowed to the planet. Being recognized as the "Lungs of Europe" is an incredible privilege, something that must not be taken for granted and must be conserved for many more generations. "Health is wealth," as they say, thus only through the reciprocal nurturing of people and their environment would the excellent benefits of health, well-being, and productivity be realized. My absolute pleasure in sharing this nugget of knowledge with you. Have an enjoyable weekend. Receive my warmest regards! 😊
I am very happy @storiesoferne that we are like-minded people on the issue of ecology and humanity. Modern trends in urban development are undoubtedly important, but it is even more important to maintain a balance between nature and humanity. In fact, all living on planet earth are a single organism, and nature is our foundation, our air and food. If nature suffers, we all suffer. I am convinced that the future belongs to "green" cities and a rational attitude towards nature.
In our country, they are troublesome about nature and its resources. Although in recent years our forests have been attacked by bark beetles. Many trees have died. But the situation began to stabilize. How is the environment in the Philippines?
In any case, I agree that Health is wealth and nature is the source of wealth.
With best regards!😊
Excellently explained @danny.green. You have truly defined the right word: Balance. This state of equilibrium is already powerful in the natural world yet must be developed with care in built environments across the globe. Mother Nature is already sufficient for our health needs however, it's mankind's carelessness and ill-treatment of the environment that's causing all these preventable dilemmas. I'm glad that Belarus was able to stabilize its natural ecosystem before disastrous events could occur. In other words, humanity's active participation in the conservation, protection, and sustainable development of nature is crucial for our planet's survival in the long run.
In the Philippines, have you heard about what happened some years ago to Boracay, considered to be the world's best resort island? There was a time when local residents, as well as foreign visitors there, suffered from its rapid deterioration due to the continuous abuse of its natural resources and ecological systems. Fortunately, our supportive government intervened and decided to strictly close the island to tourism activities for 6 months, allowing its complete clean-up plus rehabilitation program. Nowadays, the famous island of Boracay is as good as new and has already reclaimed its prestigious global reputation. Special thanks to the willingness of the dedicated people involved who went out of their way to revive these incredible gems of nature. 😊
I agree with you. After all, balance, balance and harmony should be absolutely in everything. I hope future generations and modern technologies will allow mankind to preserve and increase the natural resources of the planet.
Oh yes, I read that in 2018 Boracay was closed to tourists for half a year. This is an excellent decision by the authorities. The island needed cleaning, restoration and "rest" from millions of tourists. And I'm very glad it worked. Probably Boracay is not only the pride of the Philippines, but also the natural gem of the planet. This explains the popularity of this beautiful island. I hope that in the future I will be able to see the beauty of the Philippines with my own eyes and enjoy your nature.☺️
Oh yeah, for a nature-lover like you, the Philippines is surely an ideal destination where you can fully bask in the pure sweetness, healing therapies, and beautiful charms of Mother Nature. Because the archipelago is blessed with numerous islands housing plenty of options for travelers when savoring these natural gems, it's not a matter of how, but merely a question of when. I'd be more than happy to show you around myself in case you'll happen to visit my homeland in the not-so-distant future. Many thanks for sharing your remarkable thoughts. Warmest greetings! 😊
I will be very glad if we can meet in the near future in your homeland. I'm sure you can recommend some amazing places to visit in the Philippines. Probably, it takes a lot of time to see all the architectural and natural beauties.😊
By the way, how expensive is life in the Philippines?🤔
That's simply awesome! Time-permitting, we will get the chance in crossing each other's paths someday and have fun exploring the natural and built gems of our planet. The Philippines is not an extremely expensive country in terms of its fundamental standard of living. Because it's not yet a highly developed nation like the USA, Singapore, or Canada, the average economic atmosphere is probably comparable to Thailand, Vietnam, or Malaysia. But that comparison might drastically change depending on future circumstances. Thank you for showing your interest in these travel matters. Cheers! 😊
