Above: NATURE FIRST: A sample of original slogans about trees, flowers and nature, from the new app 365 Positivity.
I RECENTLY MET A MIDDLE-AGED Scottish man one cold morning in West London. I had just returned from a run, and I was stretching my limbs in the street. He stopped me and we got talking about exercise, and he reminisced about a childhood in Scotland in which exercise involved being out walking amongst trees and nature, and up Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest peak, located in the Scottish Highlands. He contrasted it with his life now, living within the compressed urban sprawl of London town, in which he now did no exercise. He lamented the fact that he had lost touch with the natural world that was such an intrinsic part of his childhood.
ON TREES, FLOWERS, MOUNTAINS, BEAUTY
Many of us share this reality. Modern urban living can be a tricky existence. People juggle stress, unhappiness in their jobs or home life, plus a myriad of other issues, all against the backdrop of the ‘hard’ city — a place of steel, glass and concrete, of cars and fumes. Right now, over 80 per cent of Americans and 54 per cent of the worldwide population live in urban areas. The more we lose ourselves within this matrix, the more detached we become from nature. What we need perhaps, is something to remind us of this, to reconnect us with the realm of trees, rivers, flowers and mountains.
This is one of the aims of 365 Positivity, a new app that pings short empowering slogans direct to the users mobiles each day for a year. The app’s daily quotes act like a series of digital fortune cookies — each phrase is designed to spark pro-active thought or action — all through the beauty and majesty of words.
SLOGANS ABOUT TREES & NATURE
Of the app’s 365 slogans are specifically about the beauty of trees, flowers and nature. “Don’t just see nature – absorb it,” states one of its inspirational slogans. Nature is a subject that is sparking increased levels of interest around the world — a fact well illustrated by the volume of online searches about it. Each month Google records 15,000 global searches for slogans like, “quotes about nature”. Meanwhile, “quotes about trees” fetches 10,000 searches a month. Such figures say much about the way in which large sections of people across the world are focused on different aspects of nature and the natural world.
