Why you should play outside 

I work as an Outdoor Educator in Australia (Basiclly an over qualified camp councilor) and like you, I spent a ton of my younger years playing videogames and surfing the net, then something happened that completely changed my life. My school offered the Duke of Edinburgh program which is similar to scouts, I was a shit head of a kid and on my first trip it completely turned my life trajectory around and I wouldnt be the person I am today without it. Now I am in the extremely privileged position to help kids have the experince that I had and its my freaking job. High ropes, hiking, talking about nature and native plant uses, mountain biking, It really is a dream job. I've found that a small amount of hardship in a safe and structured way can have incredible life changing impacts on kids and you see it in their faces, when they finally find some capability and resilience. Nature has a way of fostering those environments and you're absolutely right, mental health is impacted by "green time" big time, anyway I'll leave the wall of text here but yeah. Glad I'm not the only one who feels this.
