An InvestigateWest review found at least 30 people charged with trafficking without evidence of selling or distribution. They face mandatory minimum prison terms.
Psychologists at the University of Rochester conducted four experiments with 370 people who were shown computer images of either natural settings or man-made settings. The subjects studied and described the images. Bottom line - being one with nature not only makes you feel better, it makes you behave better.
In all four studies, people exposed to images of nature rated close relationships and community values higher than they had after observing man-made environments. The more deeply engaged people were in the natural settings, the more they valued community and closeness to others. The more intensely they focused on man-made settings, the more they valued fame and wealth.
