During holidays or weekends, young people spend less time on outdoor activities in the natural environment, such as hiking and mountain climbing. Why? What can be done to encourage them to go out?

In contemporary society,

people

their young ages have been leaning toward a sedentary lifestyle, which encourages them to spend more

time

indoors. To the best of my knowledge,

this

can be attributed to a host of reasons, which is the increasing tensions of individuals and the limitation of the outdoor facilities. The adverse phenomenon can be mitigated by taking more efforts to inspire healthy activities in the public. The

first

rationale is that employees, especially office workers, are having an unprecedented amount of pressure than other generations.

For instance

, many commuters spend more than 40 hours per week at the workplace struggling with heavy tasks, and,

therefore

, they prefer spending the remaining

time

at home enjoying their quality

time

. The

second

justification is the lack of green areas and outdoor facilities for dwellers in metropolitan areas. In terms of that, were the vicinity neighbours to have more parks and sports stadiums,

people

would go there more for exercise. The

first

action to deal with

this

inactive lifestyle is raising the awareness of each individual about the benefits of spending

time

outdoors for physical exercise.

On the other hand

,

people

may face severe health problems namely obesity, chronic diseases, and even cancers. Another solution is that the government can allocate budgets to upgrade facilities in public with more state-of-the-art exercise devices in parks. It is regarded as a motivation for

people

to go out in their leisure

time

, leading to a better living habit. In conclusion, those encouragements should always be paid attention to optimize living qualities of

people

of all ages, which can bring the society to sustainable development and prosperity.
