During her viewings of a school in Long Beach was that a fifth of the students had asthma. She was determined to change that. She noticed from her findings that is was from 500 trucks that went by the school every hour. That the result of road traffic that the trucks gave off a rubbery smell from the diesel particles. That the children were breathing in during the school day. That contained more than a normal amount of carbon.

That children should be more exposed to the outdoors during school hours. To just breath in some fresh air and forget about the stress of school for a moment. Kids need to unwind by playing outdoors and going on adventures. I do believe that it does improve your attention and memory because you are calm and focused on what you are doing.Nature what i feel is best for kids. That you should have a class outside to be experiencing the good ol outdoors. And be hands on with nature at its finest. To be safe and protected while you are outdoors.
