A new survey of 2,000 British adults drops a real eye-opener, one in five folks never snag a full day outdoors, with 21% saying, they only get that chance a handful of times a year, and 5% even less than once every 12 months. The big row blocks, lack of personal time, desk jobs, and childcare duties top the list. Millennials feel the family's squeezed hardest at 21%, while Jen's ears are more likely to just lose interest, clocking 11%. On average, people spend just 84 minutes outside each day, tipping to 30 minutes around actual green spaces, and a shocking 22%. Percent get under 5 minutes of nature daily. The 25-34 crowd leaves with 104 minutes, but 45-54-year-olds lag at 73. Life changes hit hard too, starting full-time work affects 48% and having kids 18%. Pretty blamed tech, with 55% pointing to more screen time, and indoor distractions keeping
generations inside more than before. 61% are fired up to change that. Craving longer escapes to unplug, relax, and dive into nature's reset button. This has been Lester News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
