Why Green Spaces Matter To Me

Sometimes the best part of my week isn’t hanging out with my mates or being on my phone, but it’s just sitting in the park near my house.

The trees, the open air, the sound of other people playing around. But it’s where I breathe, think, and reset. I feel like that we all kinda forget how much green spaces matter, especially when things gets tough. For me, the park is more than grass and benches, it’s a safe space.

All of our mates should have a place like that, where they can feel calm and free, even for just a little while.
