(NaturalNews) Intuitively, many people understand nature’s role in human health. Whether it is walking on the beach, swimming in the ocean, or hiking in the mountains, interaction with nature seems to have a positive effect on humans. The sounds, smells, and sights of the great outdoors appear to have an amazing stress-reducing capacity. Research backs up this folk wisdom, showing that spending time with nature can decrease feelings of depression, increase self-esteem, decrease tense feelings, help us to be more caring, less aggressive and violent, be less likely to procrastinate, and better able to work through problems.
One study from 2007 done in the UK compared the mental state of depressed individuals who took a walk in a park outdoors and a walk inside a shopping center. 71 percent of the group who took a walk in the park reported that their levels of depression decreased, compared to only 45 percent of the group who walked inside the shopping center. Additionally, 22 percent of the group who walked in the shopping center reported their depression levels increasing.
The same study also showed that 71 percent of the participants who walked in the park reported feeling less tense, compared to 50 percent of those who walked in the shopping center. Additionally, a whopping 90 percent of participants who walked in the park reported an increased self-esteem, compared to only 44 percent of the participants who walked in the shopping center.
A 2009 study from the University of Rochester found that when study participants were exposed to pictures of nature, they were more likely to list connectedness and community higher as life aspirations than wealth and fame than when the participants were exposed to urban pictures. The same study also found that when participants were exposed to pictures of nature, they were more likely to share money with others than when they were exposed to urban pictures.
Research done by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign studied public housing in Chicago and randomly assigned each subject to a room with a view of grass and trees or a view of a barren courtyard. They found that subjects who were assigned to rooms with a view of nature had fewer aggressive conflicts, incidents of domestic violence, procrastinated less on goals they deemed important, and were less likely to believe that they had unsolvable problems than subjects who had views of the courtyard.
These studies underscore the importance of not losing touch with nature. In many modern societies where depression levels are soaring, an effective tool to help can be found in their own backyards.

What is it and exactly what role does it play in the "Big Picture" of America's future?
Many have said that this is simply a conspiracy theory. Well the greatest ally for dispelling ignorance and misconceptions is knowledge. So, is it possible that the conspiracy theory is actually conspiracy fact?
Now there is a question that makes you go hmmmmm.......... Well let's see what it's all about shall we?
"A set of proposals, made at the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development for the furtherance of world-wide, sustainable development. Agenda 21 sets out environmental strategies for the management of coasts, oceans, and water, the monitoring and reduction of chemical waste, the eradication of radioactive waste, and the conservation of natural vegetation and soils. This last proposal links with plans for the development of sustainable farming, and other socio-economic proposals include measures to improve health care, to reduce poverty, and to develop fair and environmentally friendly trade policies.
The aim is to promote global sustainable development at a more fundamental level than traditional aid programmes, based on common needs and interests, and on collective responsibility. Agenda 21, as agreed by national governments at Rio de Janeiro, is an action plan at all scales, requiring local governments to develop their own ‘Local Agenda 21’ in order to spread understanding of, and action for, sustainabledevelopment. "
Agenda 21 is an action plan of the United Nations (UN) related to sustainable development and was an outcome of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. It is a comprehensive blueprint of action to be taken globally, nationally, and locally by organizations of the UN, governments, and major groups in every area in which humans directly affect the environment.
in the wording of their "House Joint Resolution 587" which states as per The New American Article :
The consensus being that the controversial plans are usually disguised using a variety of innocent-sounding terms such as “Smart Growth, Wildlands Project, Resilient Cities, Regional Visioning Projects, and various ‘Green’ or ‘Alternative’ projects,” the resolution points out. But Agenda 21 is dangerous nonetheless.
The UN Agenda 21 also describes “social justice” as “the right and opportunity of all people to benefit equally from the resources afforded us by society and the environment,” the Tennessee bill points out, adding that such a radical vision would have to be accomplished “by socialist/communist redistribution of wealth.” Meanwhile, the legislation observes, Agenda 21 considers national sovereignty a “social injustice.”
As such, the measure recognizes the threat of the “insidious” UN plot and aims to expose Agenda 21’s “dangerous intent” to both the public and policymakers across America. “We hereby endorse rejection of its radical policies and rejection of any grant monies attached to it,” the resolution concludes.
“This United Nations Agenda 21 plan of radical so-called ‘sustainable development’ views the American way of life of private property ownership, single-family homes, private car ownership and individual travel choices, and privately owned farms all as destructive to the environment,” the resolution explains, echoing a measure adopted earlier this year by the Republican National Committee (RNC).
“I think this planet carries me and the eight billion people that are here right now, just fine. And what these individuals want to do, they want to cap the number of people that this planet can have,"; “one-child” policy and its enforcement through forced abortions as among the many reasons why the UN plot to limit population is dangerous.“It is insidious and it should scare you if you love freedom,” Rep. Casada warned. “I’m sorry, but humans are not enemies to the planet. We need to be creating more energy, not consuming less.”
UN Earth Summit Secretary-General Maurice Strong claimed,
"Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class — involving high meat intake, the use of fossil fuels, electrical appliances, home and work-place air-conditioning and suburban housing — are not sustainable,"
Two decades ago as Agenda 21 was ushered in.
"And what we're saying in this resolution is: No, you cannot come in our country, in our backyard, on our property and tell us what we can and cannot do with our private property," Womick added on the House floor.
The Tennessee resolution will now go to the Senate for approval. At least two other state legislatures — New Hampshire and Georgia — have introduced similar measures this year. Others are expected to join the battle in the coming months as pressure continues to build. There have also been a growing number of local governments that have been dropping their controversial membershipsin ICLEI, saving taxpayer money and ensuring that UN “sustainability” schemes do not take root in their communities. More local governments will be joining the fight this year, as well.

The city of Irving, Texas has officially withdrawn its membership from ICLEI -- the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives. This NGO was established in 1990 and is the action division of the policies laid out under the UN's Agenda 21 plan -- the globalist initiative to usher in a post-industrial world for the 21st century through the creation of local laws and requirements for city planning that essentially erase personal property rights and even steal land under a "sustainable" umbrella.
The UN, meanwhile, is seeking to build more support for its agenda at an upcoming "sustainability" summit in June. The summmit, dubbed Rio+20, will be led by Secretary General Sha Zukang of the communist dictatorship ruling mainland China, and Executive Coordinator Brice Lalonde, a "Green" socialist from France.

It beats a death camp, I guess, but the really scary part of this is that this was developed by an "eco" organization that thinks this is a good idea and that it would appeal to people.

Agenda 21 explained very well. Including implications it will have on humanity. Opinions within the video come in some cases from those that were in on the negotiations. Truly an interesting watch.

It seems that according to all the sources quoted here.,save one. The documentation presented and the opinion of many well informed and reasonable people this is indeed a calculated attempt at control. The slippery slope of lost rights and decaying freedoms of a once great nation? It seems that the road to ruin in this case is that of complacency and trust. Some would say laziness of the population at large to be vigilant and protective of those freedoms and rights we supposedly hold so dear.
Question is will the American people simply sit idly by and allow this to continue? Is it too late to correct? Do the people still have the strength of spirit and character to stand up and say no more. Agenda 21 is not the only scheme out there we have Codex Alimentarius, Rex 84, Garden Plot and a myriad of others that are out there. Some may well be conspiracy theories. However, just as in the case of Agenda 21 there are many who disavow the worries of those who saw the writing on the wall. I would venture to say that in these times it is not prudent to laugh simply because we do not understand or cannot fathom the evil intent behind these supposed theories.
The time has come to stop trying to be so damned intellectual , get off your high horses and understand that this will not get itself done. Someone has to stand up for the values that once made this Nation Great. What is happening now is heartbreaking to watch and yet no one sees. Why is that? No one worries. Is that possible? No one understands. The dumbing down caused by fluoride, aspartame, mercury, vaccines? I cannot say for sure, I can however say that I see it and it pains me that so many are so deeply asleep that they cannot see that which is right under their noses. Bickering back and forth about the right left paradigm.
Republican against Democrat instead of American standing alongside American in a fight for our very way of life. Have we forgotten what that is? Are we so far gone that we are no longer able to appreciate the wonderful Nation we once were. Not this police of the world and drone killer of women and children. Does that offend you? What offends me is that no one is offended by the innocent lives that are taken on a daily basis. Not offended by the wheeling and dealing that takes place behind closed doors, everyday. Deciding the future of the American people without their consent or input. The AUDACITY of those who are supposed to represent us ignoring our wishes and spreading hatred and resentment toward America throughout the world. That is what offends me.
I would wonder what people would do with this information. If knowing that Agenda 21 and others like it are real . Real and working everyday to erode and corrupt the very nature of all that we as Americans hold dear. Will this knowledge be enough to make you stand up and say "NO MORE, ENOUGH" and "NOT IN MY NAME"! Would we once again be able to do that as a Nation as our forefathers did once so very long ago? Or will we let all they sacrificed go for naught because we simply could not be bothered to care enough to stand up and be counted? For all our sakes I truly hope America can find it's voice and it's strength once again. To retrieve and reignite the fire that lived within all of us . So that once again those stars and stripes flowing in the breeze will remind us just how blessed we are and how much good we can do when we put our minds and our hearts into it.
The sad truth is if this is all real those who tried to warn us will not have the heart to say , "I told you so ", and those who did not listen will have no one to blame but themselves..........
God Bless America!
Could it be Planet X or the Visitors?

A force in space is hindering the journey of a NASA spacecraft.
Scientists have been baffled by a mysterious phenomenon that has prevented the craft from moving further into outer space.
Described as a force that defies all laws of nature, they have said gravity laws may eventually need to be changed.
Defying all previously-known theories about the universe, the strange force that gently pushes spacecraft away from outer space was discovered last year when the spacecraft Pioneer 10 was stopped in its path by the unknown phenomenon.
Researchers for NASA have said the force could be a totally new phenomenon that does not fall under familiar titles such as gravity or electromagnetic power.
A tangible scientific explanation has not been put forward for the fact that the Pioneer 10 left the solar system to start its voyage in a space where there is no solar radiation or planets to attract it toward their orbits.
Pioneer 10, which travels more than one million kilometres per day, started slowing down in an area where it is not supposed to meet any obstacles.
Pioneer 10 is the first spacecraft to have taken close photos of Jupiter, which it passed in 1973.
In 1978, it traveled towards Pluto and reached it in 1983.
It then left for a region called the Asteroid Belt, which is occupied by several irregular-shaped minor planets.
The spacecraft, which is currently 11 billion kilometers away from earth, now only travels at 25 centimetres every day, going backwards.
