In neighbors where the trees have been infested by this emerald ash borer and the trees die that there is also lack of clean oxygen which we really need for health's sake otherwise humans would not be having respiratory and heart problems in those areas. |

There are some significant links to health and the natural environment (and vice versa as seen after some interesting studies!) Ill see if I can find some of them :) Quoting: MissionInvisible ahh hello missioninvisible...nice to hear from you again :) thanks :) where thought goes, energy flows "youth is the ultimate wealth, and you're a bit poorer today." |

I have a lemon an and lime tree in pots but they just never fruit. Well, mum watered them and talked to them (I watched her through the window lean into each one as she spoke). Well wouldn't you know it...they doubled their size in a matter of weeks. where thought goes, energy flows "youth is the ultimate wealth, and you're a bit poorer today." |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 25531744 United States 01/16/2013 11:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Interesting story that happened a couple years ago. I work in Cleveland and there was a old church by the Cleveland Clinic that had a 200 year old tree behind it. It was absolutely gorgeous and I loved looking at it every day. It was probably planted when the church was constructed. So one day the church decided to cut it down. I was beyond pissed. So I don't know if it was my rage at them cutting down the tree or the tree and the church were linked but 1 month later the 200 year old church was hit with a bolt of lightening and burned to the ground. I couldn't breathe at work for two days due to the smoke but I felt vindicated. |

Blitz the storm-striker User ID: 32328671 Canada 01/16/2013 11:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Evidence is increasing from multiple scientific fields that exposure to the natural environment can improve human health. Quoting: trailingedge In an analysis of 18 years of data from 1,296 counties in 15 states, researchers found that Americans living in areas infested by the emerald ash borer, a beetle that kills ash trees, suffered from an additional 15,000 deaths from cardiovascular disease and 6,000 more deaths from lower respiratory disease when compared to uninfected areas. When emerald ash borer comes into a community, city streets lined with ash trees become treeless.

I felt this growing up in a National Forest Regional Area. I recall the beetle scare then forest deaths cause by said scary beetle infestations. Strange may be the Africanized Killer Bees, commonly known just as "killer bees back then," also were unleashing havoc in other regional areas moving from South to North too.

DontBeAfraidEVER User ID: 30524368 Norway 01/17/2013 12:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No ****... as our environment suffers, so do we. Is this really even questionable? Quoting: illninja There is a way to be totally free, no matter whats going on around you. The power of love is much stronger than any of the negative energies. If you have a good enough ''shield'' nothing can touch you. Now on topic... I once saw a video of a guy testing the effect of music on plants. On the first try he played heavy metal for x amount of time, and on the second try he played calm classical music for x amount of time. I know i have it somewhere on my computer, but i cant find it at the moment. Anyways, the noisy music made the plants bend away, and the calm music attracted the plants toward the speakers. Plants reacts to music/sound/vibration/frequencys and so do we, but the human ear cannot hear them although we very much react to it. A forrest is FULL of healing music which you cannot hear =) This piece was made by nature billions of years ago ^^ |
