A term for that "I need time in nature" feeling

Time spent in nature cures irritability, reduces stress and makes people more generous. (Credit: Christopher Fassbender)

I asked you: If "hangry" is the anger you feel when you're hungry, what's the term for the irritability you feel when you're due for time in nature?

You came through with some creative, invented words and definitions. Let's vote for the best one! The winner gets a T-shirt signed by David Suzuki. (Plus, we'll all commit to start to use the term. It will be our little Queen of Green community inside joke.)
