Title: Craving green. Post by: jaibster on August 06, 2017, 01:58:47 PM Am I the only one who craves the green color the nature has to offer? Living in the city, we are surrounded by a endless concrete forest. The little green belts which soothe our longing eyes are also slowly disappearing. Sacrificed for the sake of development. Doesn't this society fear that a day will come when we won't be able to see what we have taken for granted. We can build as much as we can but we surely lack the ability to grow life.

I myself do enjoy what nature has to offer yet I can tolerate our society stripping away nature for the benefit of mankind. Title: Re: Craving green.

Either reside in my village and earn $100 per month from odd jobs, or stay in a city and earn $400 by working as an IT engineer. I chose the latter option.

But this feature is missing in the Asian cities. Most of the Asian cities are very crowded, and this adds to the overall desperation and frustration of the residents.
Title: Re: Craving green. Post by: Mometaskers on August 07, 2017, 04:57:53 PM I've read somewhere that students do better in campuses with a lot of greenery. I think it's because we take pleasure from beauty and that we tend to find natural environments beautiful. This can be taken into consideration during city planning but if all else fails, you might have to make your own oasis inside the urban desert. Even a few potted plants in an apartment does wonders.

Post by: d0flaming0 on August 08, 2017, 05:58:35 AM nah... I personally think, green trees and nature makes a refreshing view and air. the city makes me feel like i am suffocated with debris and polluted air.. It is way better relaxing at nature, you can freely release your stress out there,

God knows only, how farther it will be. But that trees, and also plants can not be destroyed in such scales is a fact. A man needs neatly to behave to surrounding us nature.Title: Re: Craving green.

Post by: mevmike on August 09, 2017, 07:21:07 AM as of now i am not in the point where i crave for greener environment as much as you do..
There's still a lot of trees and the air is still fresh from where we live in.. . But im afraid someday this is gonna change.. A lot of establishments are now being built... So i guess these is the price for ample development... Sacrificing the nature... :D Title: Re: Craving green.

I crave for color green too, but not as intense as you do, from where i live there are still lots of trees, and green plants, but i am afraid as the development continue, my hometown's trees will be affected to. We cannot stop development once it started, we can only slow it down and reroute it, but eventually it will be back. I hate to see my hometown color grey (color of most buildings, pavements and roads), i want to have a hometown which have plenty of green in it. I crave for color green because green colors makes our eyes relax, i am a student in the fields of computer, and its very hard to deal with radiation. So for our eyes to relax, we need to see some colors of green. Title: Re: Craving green.

True, most cities in the past haven't been designed for that much. The planners probably never anticipated the population growth. Hopefully these days with the possibility of high-rise buildings, there'll be enough spaces near city centers for greenery. IMHO it's best if the green spaces are spread out with the buildings peppered in between them. Title: Re: Craving green. Post by: Prem.Soorajpaul on August 09, 2017, 01:37:16 PM I am originally from a small village near the Amazon rain forest in Guyana. But when I was a small child, my parents moved to the biggest city in my country. I still miss my village, and whenever I get some free time, I visit the rural areas. It is getting tough now, as most of the relatives left there are elderly.

Seeing greenery seems to refresh my soul in a way. I find it very relaxing staring at mountains even from afar and that actually ade me fall in love with the outdoors. Growing up in the city with all the hustle and bustle, i sometimes find it stressful just standing amidst city life. Title: Re: Craving green. Post by: jaibster on August 12, 2017, 11:33:37 AM Today was such a gorgeous day, and being that I haven’t spent much time outdoors lately, I decided to go on a short hike around Garden of the Gods. We recently had a very heavy, wet snowfall, but I reasoned that most of the snow would be melted by now and I was anxious to feel the uneven ground beneath my feet once more. Wrong on that one! The trail was a morass of slush and sticky thick mud. I slipslided my way along as best I could, having to do more bushwhacking than I feel comfortable with in a heavy-use park. My legs turned to jelly and I soon was covered in sweat. But to be out in nature again... ah, such bliss. The arroyo’s were filled with snowmelt and the sound of trickling water was everywhere. Such a welcome treat in the high desert. The crystal blue sky, red rocks, white snow, and the lovely, lovely green of the juniper, piñon and ponderosa pine. What a feast for the eyes and lift for the soul. Title: Re: Craving green.

Many of us like to go on a weekend in an out-of-town house, visit on nature, breathe honest air. Yet very well, if alongside there are the small river and forest. It is possible пoлoвить fish and gather mushrooms.Title: Re: Craving green. Post by: galestorm on September 06, 2017, 01:33:08 PM I also long for nature. I want to be surrounded by trees and fresh air which is kind of rare in today's cities. Its kind of stressful and frustrating to go home and breathe smoke into your lungs. I wish for solititude in the countryside and enjoy what life has to offer.
Title: Re: Craving green. Post by: mirror001 on September 06, 2017, 05:02:53 PM Be that as it may, when I was a little youngster, my folks moved to the greatest city in my nation. Despite everything I miss my town, and at whatever point I get some spare time, I visit the provincial regions. It is getting extreme now, as the vast majority of the relatives left there are elderly. starting at now i am not in the point where i pine for greener condition as much as you do.. There's still a great deal of trees and the air is still straight from where we live in. However, im anxious some time or another this is going to change.. A ton of foundations are presently being constructed. So i figure these is the cost for abundant advancement. Relinquishing the nature.
Title: Re: Craving green. Post by: SoulEaterRR on September 06, 2017, 05:09:13 PM You were not in Tokyo yet, the city of glass and cement. Now pomoymu all just want a green color, make a design in an apartment, plant flowers, or you can leave for a living nature, if in the summer. Forests are needed for irrigation of soils, air purification, and at least some protection against heat. The more people have less forests and more cement, they need to live somewhere.
