Robinson said the village has collected more than 3,800 pounds of
holiday lights in its annual recycling program and
plans to
enhance its recycling at the Buffalo Grove Days festival,
planned for Aug. 29 to Sept. 2.
Other research has shown that spending
holiday time in an «enriched» setting — defined as offering new experiences that are rich in sensory, social, physical, and cognitive interactions — can actually «turn on the genetic expression of key «brain fertilizers» in the frontal lobes,
enhancing executive functions such as stress regulation, attention, concentration, good
planning and ability to learn, also improving physical and mental health.»
