Being green can make you happy, says new study

I find that very true myself. From Imperial News, 19 Dec 2006:

New research conducted by a Masters student at the College shows a significant link between environmental knowledge, attitudes and behaviours and personal well-being. Matthew Mellen who has just finished his MSc in Environmental Technology conducted the research and found that people who live a more eco-friendly lifestyle have improved well being. Matthew explains: “It is really common sense, human culture is found within the natural world. At a fundamental level harm to the environment is harm to us. Conversely healthy, secure human societies require healthy, stable eco-systems.”
