And other stories from the stranger side of life
A holiday island has announced a “no phones” policy for tourists planning to visit this summer. The island of Ulko-Tammio, located in the Eastern Gulf of Finland National Park, is “fostering a peaceful, phone free atmosphere this summer”, said The Mirror, by asking visitors to “keep their mobiles in their pockets this summer”, so that holidaymakers can “switch off, take a break from social media and enjoy nature”. “People are not meant to be glued to screens all the time,” said Terhi Mustonen, psychologist at the social welfare NGO Sosped Foundation.
